The Timeless Shield of Protection

“The Timeless Shield of Protection” is a radiant portrayal of divine protection, inspired by the sacred verses of the 91st Psalm. The central figure, draped in shimmering gold, stands as an angelic protector, embodying the shield of faith that guards against all harm. The halo-like crown atop the figure’s head glows with divine authority, and the intricately detailed background, filled with golden textures and crosses, further reinforces the sense of holy sanctuary.

The central figure, symbolic of Archangel Michael, brings forth the shield of protection, embodying the strength and grace of the angels sent to guard us. I translated the vision of the Psalm into visual form: “He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty”—a promise of divine shelter.

The soft, abstract detailing surrounding the figure suggests movement between realms, as if the angel is guarding the threshold between the earthly and the divine.

The golden atmosphere that envelops the figure emanates a sense of timelessness, as though the divine protection extends across ages and dimensions, offering an eternal promise of safety. The angel, standing tall and serene, reflects the strength of God’s shield, ever present and unwavering.
