"Abode of the Spirit" is a compelling landscape painting rendered in tempera on canvas. The artwork embodies symbolism, capturing the ethereal realm of the Great White Brotherhood, a group of perfected beings that disseminate spiritual teachings through select humans—often called Ascended Masters or the Hierarchy. Its dreamlike composition and subtle color palette evoke a mystical atmosphere consistent with Symbolism. The painting aims to depict the divine sanctuary of these spiritual guides, emphasizing the connection between the earthly and celestial realms in a style that invites introspection and reverence.
