Angels and Demons or Angel of Infinity © George Grie, March 2008 |
title: Angels and Demons or Angel of Infinity
The angels are represented throughout the Bible as a body of spiritual beings intermediate between God and men: "You have made him (man) a little less than the angels" (Psalm 8:6). The angels of the Bible generally appear in the role of God's messengers to mankind. They are His instruments by whom He communicates His will to men, and in Jacob's vision they are depicted as ascending and descending the ladder which stretches from earth to heaven while the Eternal Father gazes upon the wanderer below. Such appearances of angels generally last only so long as the delivery of their message requires, but frequently their mission is prolonged, and they are represented as the constituted guardians of the nations at some particular crisis, e.g. during the Exodus (Exodus 14:19; Baruch 6:6).
While angels and demons alike are generally regarded as invisible to human sight, they are frequently depicted as human-like creatures with wings, though many theologians have argued that they have no physical existence, but can take on human form. Most theologians agree that angels have no gender. Therefore, they usually appear as androgynous, although guardian angels appear more feminine and maternal. Their exceptional beauty was well attested in Scripture. The long plain dress or tunic traditionally given to most angels comes hardly altered from the Byzantine tradition, where it had, if anything, a male connotation.

Elisabeth R. / United States / Jul 16th, 2010
Congratulations! This picture has been chosen to be featured on a new DreamWorks feature called "Fright Night". Walt Disney Pictures and Dreamworks are currently in pre-production on the feature film remake of the 1980's classic comedy-horror picture..
Melvin Finch / England / Feb 7th, 2009
A person whom the R complex does not master. Conected to a schism that accured many lightyears away. A truly tallanted indavidual. Scaled to a level no mortal could ever overcome. Our cosmic connection is cleverly depicted in your works. Thank you.
monk / Luxembourg / Jan 17th, 2009
The term is generic and in some religious or philosophical traditions it therefore may be considered interchangeable with other terms such as ascetic. However, being generic, it is not interchangeable with terms that denote particular kinds.
vishnu / India / Apr 22nd, 2008
very impressive digital design, thanks
TattooTribes / United States / Mar 29th, 2008
Amazing... amazing... amazing... I could go on forever. Your works always have this effect on me. You are not from Earth, are you?
H.H. / Denmark / Mar 27th, 2008
Sometimes it is only through the experience of death...even in the metaphorical sense...that we are able to learn to live...
Michelangelo Buonarroti / Italy / Mar 20th, 2008
Once again your work leaves me amazed. This beautiful piece is something you could never tire. Every moment is a new journey and experience with your work. It is most refreshing to find an artist that has the ability to help temporarily free us from this
