The Celestial Dancers of Angkor, Gouache on paper, 297 x 420 mm, 2004.


The celestial dancers called asparas are the most beguiling aspect of Angkor. Many suffer damage to their stone breasts, targets of modern vandals. Though battered, the asparas do not age. They promise a joyful existence after the last reincarnation. Angkor itself awaits that time, having known cycles of decay and rebirth for a 1000 years. They are a miracle of Art.
