“Ex Libris” by Michael Parkes
Limited Edition Stone Lithograph
A love letter to knowledge, curiosity, and the enchanting worlds hidden within books, Michael Parkes’ Ex Libris captures the magic of reading in a way only he can—where fantasy and reality blend into an elegant dreamscape. This exquisite stone lithograph is a tribute to the seekers of wisdom, the lovers of stories, and the quiet joy found in turning the pages of a book.
Perched atop a towering stack of books, a serene winged muse is completely absorbed in her reading, her delicate expression reflecting deep contemplation. Beside her, a mischievous little blue creature with curled horns and its own tiny wings mirrors her focus, flipping through the pages of a book as though unlocking secrets of its own. Their shared moment of discovery is framed by a cascade of books, each representing the endless possibilities of imagination and learning. Hanging below, small locked books dangle like sacred relics, suggesting the guarded mysteries waiting to be revealed.
With Parkes’ signature softness, delicate detailing, and symbolic storytelling, Ex Libris is more than a work of art—it is an invitation to cherish the beauty of knowledge, the companionship of literature, and the limitless adventures found within a well-loved book. A must-have for collectors who appreciate both intellect and whimsy, this lithograph is perfect for book lovers, dreamers, and anyone who believes in the power of a good story.
