About The Artwork

Beneath the serene veil of night, four human figures float in meditation upon the calm, silent sea, their bodies merging seamlessly with the nocturnal landscape. Stillness and harmony define the scene.

Above them, a full and luminous moon hangs like an ancestral beacon. From its light emerges a male silhouette - the Protector - an ethereal presence born not from the sky, but from the moon itself. He appears as a symbol of balance, guidance, and spiritual renewal, responding to the inner call of those in meditation.

Cool blues and greens shape the sea and sky, while warm tones radiate from the meditating bodies, revealing an inner fire alive within the silence. Came from the Moon speaks of inner listening and the manifestation of sacred masculine energy as guardian of peace, reminding us that true birth occurs not only in the body, but within the soul.
