⚜️🕊️Annunciation
Who is this youth? 






























In a robe of light,
He shone heavenly,
And, radiant, appeared
To the meek virgin of Nazareth.
His brow breathes joy,
His speeches exude kindness,
Her curls fall upon her shoulders,
A wing trembles over her shoulder.
Who is this? A lily-colored veil
Shrouds her clear face,
A reverent gaze is lowered
Under her eyelashes drooping.
Her hands are folded upon her chest,
A quiet sigh is suppressed in her heart,
Her timid ear receives the sounds:
"Virgin, thy Son shall be God."
This winged youth is
Herald of Redemption,
An angel, herald of triumph,
Herald of the mystery of the Incarnation,
And before him, full of humility,
The Virgin—the Mother of the Divinity.

 🖌️🎨Veneta Docheva (born 1974) - Bulgarian watercolor artist. Clarity of lines and freedom of color Favorite materials: Escoda brushes, flat Chinese brushes; Saunders Grain Fin paper, Arches Rough, Mijello watercolor. Veneta Docheva was born in 1974 in Sofia. She studied painting on her own. Here is how Veneta tells about herself: "There was only one decent art school in Sofia. I really wanted to go there. I got a "C" on the first exam, decided that I wouldn't get in anyway at this rate, and helped all my "competitors" during the watercolor exam - I painted their works. By the way, I passed the watercolor exam with flying colors. But I was never accepted into the art school. I was upset and gave up drawing for about ten years. After high school, I entered the law faculty. When I was 22-23 years old, I went with my parents to an exhibition of an artist who began painting at the age of 50. We bought one of his paintings, talked, and he said that he believed...

🗿 Louis Sussmann-Hellborn (1828-1908) was a German sculptor, artist, and collector. Marble "Sleeping Beauty" (German: "Dornröschen") 1878 Alte Nationalgalerie Berlin The name of Hellborn's sculpture seems to have been lost in history, but in 1878, when he created this piece, he was in fact an established artist and a prominent figure in Berlin, with enough money to sponsor the arts (he was one of the founders of the Royal Museum of Decorative Arts) and to create large marble sculptures like this one. The sweet image of Sleeping Beauty, surrounded by delicate branches of roses, rests in a luxurious marble chair, where the German sculptor Louis-Sussmann Hellborn placed her more than a hundred years ago. A metal spindle stands out at the girl's feet, reminding us that it was this that led her to this terrible fate. The dress and chair are entwined with roses, because the girl has been sleeping for a century. While Beauty slept, Germany was awakening from a rec...

🦪 🇦🇪 Farah Al Qasimi, an Abu Dhabi-based designer and artist, has created an installation of giant rainbow oysters on the seashore, a sonic ode to the sea. Farah Al Qasimi has named it Homesick. The cluster of iridescent oyster shells echoes with the hum of longing along the Abu Dhabi waterfront. The oysters are made from machined aluminum, coated in shimmering paint, and create a soundscape that evokes the ingrained relationship between the Gulf people and their waters. “Homesick honors the pearl diving tradition that has shaped the economic and cultural landscape of the Emirates,” says the artist. Speakers embedded in each pearl emit a soothing five-channel composition that conveys songs of longing, reimagining the traditional chant sung by pearl divers’ wives to wish for a safe return home. The sculpture is one of more than 50 interventions scattered across the Emirates. The soundscape is inspired by Tob, Tob Ya Bahar, a traditional song sung by women who waited for the safe ret...
