Whispering Hope

“It only takes a muster seed of faith to move the highest mountains.”

This exquisite piece of art that showcases the artist’s brilliant skills as a symbolist painter. Gil Maningo is an elusive artist whose figure style was greatly influenced by the famous artist Egon Schiele. This painting depicts a woman calmly relaxing in a chair with her eyes closed as if lost in thought or prayer. 

What sets this artwork apart is the use of gold leaf as a base for the painting. Gil Maningo then adds multiple layers of paint, and hidden in them are symbols that hold a profound meaning. These symbols add to the overall look and mood of the piece, making it a mesmerizing work of art.
