Cosmic Angel (2024) Original Mixed-media Painting by GeGe Hirst

Part of the Emergence series, Cosmic Angel explores the idea that we are more than the stories we tell ourselves. Layers of colour, texture and expressive mark-making come together to reveal a face suspended between presence and mystery, strength and vulnerability.

Fragments of light emerge from deep blues and vibrant passages of colour, creating a sense of transformation and possibility. The painting reflects my fascination with the unseen aspects of human experience: resilience, hope, and the feeling that there is something within us that cannot be reduced to circumstance alone.

Rather than portraying a specific individual, Cosmic Angel invites personal interpretation, offering space for viewers to connect with their own experiences, memories and emotions.
