More Information: “Rhapsody” by Henry Asencio. It is said that a picture can paint a thousand words. And perhaps, through a word one can paint the essence of a picture. Asencio’s “Rhapsody” is a portrait of this elusive notion. Rhapsody, ecstasy, elation; a state of great joy, harmony and bliss. Concept and visual beauty intertwine in this heavenly work created and inspired by the rare talent and soul. As viewers, we become enraptured in the sweet seduction of this angelic presence. Poised in virgin white and delicately glancing as if she is looking down from some celestial space -- we enter Seventh Heaven or could it be Cloud Nine? It is “Rhapsody” in its most artistic and metaphorical state. Color sparkles and image intrigues in Asencio’s “Rhapsody”. Wrapped in white and surrounded by cool grays and blues, the sweet tonalities of her flesh seem warm to the touch. Ethereal smatterings of turquoise blue create a light airy presence. Enter the dreams of Asencio. And enter a sacred and purifying place where a renewed sense of hope, spiritual strength and peace of mind dwell. “Heaven on Earth is not a physical place, but a space that gives us peace of mind.” ---- author unknown
