About this artwork
Mary was a first-century BC Galilean Jewish woman of Nazareth, and the mother of Jesus, according to the New Testament and the Qur'an. The gospels of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament and the Quran describe Mary as a virgin betrothed to Joseph.
This painting is taken from the statue of the Blessed Virgin which stands in an alcove behind the main altar at St. Sulpice in Paris, France. Another common Marian devotional practice is the tradition… of depicting Mary standing on top of a snake. This image comes from the book of Genesis, where God says to the snake that tempted Adam and Eve:
"And I will put enmity, between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." (Genesis 3:15)

« Expressing my love of colour and design, my paintings convey a sense of spirituality. The concept of ‘flourishing’ is a prominent theme in my work. »
David Tomlin is an exciting Canadian painter who has exhibited his work nationally, including in the US, Canada and France. Self-taught and creating from a signature Canadian perspective, he composes surreal, vibrant paintings that exalt natural light and colour. He is influenced by Impressionism, and more profoundly by Canadian First Nations artists in their representations of humanity's relationship to the natural world. Tomlin's semi-abstract style showcases purpose, intensity and an energizing visual flourish. Together with a love of colour and a passion for design, Tomlin's paintings evoke a sense of contemplative spirituality expressing his understanding of the three ‘transcendentals’- BEAUTY, GOODNESS, and TRUTH.
