Divine Solitude

This artwork on canvas transcends the ordinary to offer a glimpse into the sacred tranquility of an Ethiopian woman in solitary prayer within the hallowed walls of a Laibella church.

In this evocative artwork, the play of sunlight through the multi-coloured stained glass creates a celestial ambiance, casting an ethereal mist of radiance that envelops the scene.

The solitary figure, a beacon of spiritual devotion, sits on a rug with hands together and head gently bowed in prayer.

The mood of “Divine Solitude” is a symphony of introspection and reverence—a rarefied moment captured in time.

Dressed in the traditional white clothes of an Ethiopian Christian woman, her presence is further accentuated by the gentle waft of incense rising next to her

As you immerse yourself in the mood of “Divine Solitude,” let us delve into the rich history that inspired this masterpiece.

Laibella, a UNESCO World Heritage site, boasts a complex of rock-hewn churches dating back to the 12th century.

Carved with remarkable precision into the rugged terrain, these churches stand as architectural marvels and enduring symbols of Ethiopian Christian civilization.

Legend has it that King Lalibela, inspired by a divine vision, commissioned these structures as a New Jerusalem, bringing to life a spiritual haven that stands as a testament to unwavering faith, architectural brilliance, and a divine connection.

The scene depicted in “Divine Solitude” pays homage to the sacred legacy of Laibella, where each rock-hewn structure tells a story of faith, resilience and unparalleled craftsmanship.
