A Word from Michael Parkes: “Sophia Rose is important to me because she was my first attempt to try and make a portrait of an angel. In essence, she began my journey that continues to this day, in exploring what angels represent to us as humans. I wanted to give her individual qualities and capture a specific type of energy. Her name has the key of what type of energy she represents. Sophia relates to Wisdom and Rose represents Love. Although there are parts of the painting that appear unfinished, this was deliberate. I wanted the beauty of her face, which was painted many times until I had the right look, to be juxtaposed to the so called unfinished parts of the painting. This polarity seems to intensify her expression.”
Michael Parkes is an American artist who resides in Spain and primarily works in the realm of Magical Realism. He has produced a large body of work over his 50 year career, including painting, drawing, sculpture, stone lithography, and limited edition giclee prints. His artworks are found in the collections of celebrities, discerning private patrons, and galleries spanning the globe.
In June of 2024, Michael Parkes announced he would be semi-retiring to spend more time with his loved ones. On August 15th, 2024, the last of the Michael Parkes Fine Art Editions were sold to collectors, ending the supply of new authorized limited editions of his work.
