Limited Edition Stone Lithograph
A mesmerizing fusion of elegance, mysticism, and celestial beauty, Michael Parkes’ Watching Time captures the eternal dance between destiny and awareness. This exquisite stone lithograph invites the viewer into a world where the passage of time is not measured in minutes, but in moments of transformation and quiet reflection.
A luminous figure stands poised, her golden curls adorned with delicate ribbons, whispering of both youth and wisdom. Her gaze is turned away, as if she alone understands the secrets unfolding beyond the visible world. Wrapped around her arm, an intricate wing—part avian, part celestial—suggests a connection to higher realms, a guardian of time’s mysteries. The dark background, punctuated by spirals and symbolic embellishments, evokes the endless cycle of existence, where past, present, and future flow seamlessly together.
With its breathtaking detail, rich symbolism, and Parkes’ signature surreal elegance, Watching Time is more than a work of art—it is a meditation on presence, fate, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. A must-have for collectors who appreciate art that transcends the ordinary, this lithograph will bring depth, sophistication, and timeless allure to any collection.
