ARTISTS MICHELA MARTELLO AND TOURYA OTHMAN's paintings have a spiritual power that transcends religious, linguistic and cultural barriers and it carries within it all of our most ancient archetypes. It speaks to people.

The inspiration to create…icons is powerful and mysterious. [The] purpose is an artistic creation unique in itself, a rebirth of ancient times with its own luminous language. The auru among the living, the tranquility and stillness of [these] paintings are born out of [an] inner life and tuned to the voice of internal necessity. The upward glances of the figures are bringing the viewer closer to the symbolic spiritual world. The images confront and force us to look beyond reality to see the inner universe that lies within us all.
