The secret is that no two loves are alike. Everyone says, 'oh, they are in love' which sounds like everyone shares the same condition. But, like fingerprints, each love is unique. Even the angel is blindfolded so she does not participate in the lovers' unique experience. ]]> Secret, Michael Parkes A Word From Michael Parkes: What is the secret?

A Word from Michael: The puppetmaster (a portly dwarf portraying the ego in its smallness and elaborate dress) uses a swan puppet to mesmerize the human spirit, represented by the woman. The tiger, or rather our animal instincts, is also held in check by the puppetmaster. At this moment, the time is not ripe for the spirit to walk away from the illusion that the puppetmaster has created. ]]> Puppetmaster, Michael Parkes

A Word from Michael: Polar Wings is part of a re-occurring theme concerning “devas.” There is a myth that creative “devas” (whom also could be called “guardian angels”) were on this earth in the beginning to help design everything on earth from plants, insects, to mammals. They've watched over their creations from the beginning of their time on earth and will continue to do so until the very end of their existence, individually and collectively. Many of these creations are threatened with extinction today. This was the theme in my painting, “The Last Lion.” Another painting, “Deva”, shows the deva in the process of creating the dragonfly. Here you have a tender moment between the Polar Bear and his deva. ]]> Polar Wings, Michael Parkes
