Flight of Calm

Peace-bearing doves bestow love and friendship as they flutter through the blue skies, representing the duality of feminine and masculine energies as they form a bond between the brain and heart. Floral hues and calming doves symbolize the mutual harmony of nature as it exists in the absence of human disturbance.

Andean artisan Asunta Pelaez creates 'Sky Doves' at her Lima workshop, mastering the centuries-old reverse painted glass technique, a style that has become her lifelong passion.

Pelaez paints her multicolor design on the reverse side of a pane of glass that she places in a white-painted wooden frame. Inspired by the colors of the sky, Pelaez paints in blue and white to evoke a sensation of calm and guardianship.
