Now that I’ve painted this, I find myself more interested in the demon than the angel. She struggles and strains and is full of emotion. She
wants to live. The angel is stoic and cold and prepared to judge with no
regrets. What has she done to deserve punishment? Does the angel hesitate? Like a sociopath, does
he find pleasure in administering justice, if that is, in fact, what he is about to do? Do
they have the power to redefine themselves through freewill or are they playing
out roles that have been predefined for them, both necessary in the balance of
yin and yang in the universe? Do our preconceived notions of good and evil deceive us? Perhaps he is the evil
one about to slay a good and decent soul.
