Risen Dove Illusion Glass
Dove of Peace in Painted Ascension
White Dove Rising in Timeless Hope and Redemption
This luminous Illusion Glass work, titled Risen, is a reverent meditation on sacrifice, redemption, and resurrection. A white dove rises in graceful ascent above three crosses formed of nails, its wings spread in triumph against a radiant backdrop of blue and gold. Hand-painted with specialized European enamel glass paints that fuse permanently to the surface upon firing, the dove, crosses, and surrounding light glow with rich depth and symbolic clarity—pure whites, deep cobalt blues, warm citrine golds, and subtle red accents at the center crystal evoking the blood of sacrifice and the promise of eternal life.
The circular composition is framed in traditional lead came construction, accented by hand-twisted copper wirework that forms elegant, flowing tendrils and supports. Sparkling crystal, glass, pearl, and copper beads in citrine, cobalt, and blue topaz tones add luminous depth and rhythmic reverence. A custom dangling Austrian crystal cross completes the piece, suspended from a custom copper hanging element and resting above a flared, hand-formed bowl base, evoking the gentle descent of grace and peace.
Designed with a deliberate dual nature, it reveals its full magic in two lights: radiant and translucent when natural daylight shines through from behind, unveiling vibrant depth and spiritual illumination; painterly and richly atmospheric when viewed in ambient indoor light or shade, appearing as a glowing, hand-painted composition suspended in timeless hope.
