The Summit, - Michael Parkes
The artwork The Summit is a Signed Limited Edition Giclee on Canvas based on the eponymous painting by artist Michael Parkes.
A word from Michael Parkes: "The Summit is a personal story of evolution on the human level. She stands at the top of the summit after a long and personal struggle to achieve more wisdom and understanding. From the summit she can see her journey below and is finally able to remove the ego mask and be completely herself. The bird has taken off the animal mask and has also evolved, becoming more aware than an ordinary bird. The horse represents the dynamic force and energy that has enabled this arduous process of evolution to take place. Although the mask is no longer necessary, and wisdom and strength have been gained, the woman still maintains her softness, vulnerability, and femininity."
Marcel Salome says about this work: "During our years working together Michael Parkes and I talk about a lot of things, including of course about the messages in his work and paintings. Virgo and Athena are among my favorite Parkes' works and Michael told me that he always wanted to do a similar artwork. To perfect the things he was not satisfied with in earlier works. The Summit became the result.
