About the Item

This is a mirror image copy of an earlier painting which was destroyed in the 2025 Malibu fires. Trust your intuition, embrace your journey and follow the path that resonates with your deepest desires are all spiritual beliefs associated with shooting stars. This painting from Master artist Sax Berlin is born from both a personal experience and the mythos surrounding the phenomenon of shooting stars. Lavishly created with hand ground pigments and gold leaf, white and yellow, Berlin has excelled himself with this piece inspired by a rare sighting of a shooting star above his home one clear Winter night. From the Japanese word Nerigajo to the Chumash word Alakiwohoch, many cultures and religions reference the special significance of shooting stars. When a star falls from the sky it leaves a fiery trail but it does not die. Its soul returns to its own place to shine again. Berlins beautiful woman is a shooting star personified; rare metallic elements and fiery ruby red lips combine in this work to create a new goddess for contemporary watchers of celestial bodies. Hand ground pigments with 24ct gold leaf and white gold on canvas 24″. x 18″ 2025
