Psychopomp, original oil on canvas by Arno Carstens, 2017 (51×51cm)
Psychopomp /ˈsʌɪkə(ʊ)pɒmp/ noun a mythological guide of souls, to the place of the dead; the spiritual guide of a living person's soul.
"I’m fascinated with the inner workings of the world beyond what is known to us; and with the mythology that our souls are guided through the unfamiliarity of traversing death by an all loving mother figure," Carstens says of his 5th artwork for Stacks premier marketplace, Gamma.
The 51 x 51cm original oil is part of a series of artworks that are not for sale to the public but are rather currently held in Arno's private collection.
The original oil has been reworked digitally to create a 1/1 animated gif digital collectible.
