Like many\nof his other paintings, this one, titled “Dark Angel,” features\nreligious themes typical of Ethiopia’s historic and traditional art. We can\nobserve that it is presented in a manner that differs from the Ethiopian\nOrthodox Church’s canonical rules and historic teachings, nonetheless. It is\napparent that this painting possesses a spiritual force. A large pair of\nside-swept, slanted eyes with a somewhat round face conveys a sense of immense\nmystery. His visual language consistently centers on the eyes as the primary\nsubject in his works. This, in the viewpoint of both Christian and secular\nthinking, is the manifestation of the heart’s deepest emotions and desires.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

It is well\nknown that Worku Goshu’s paintings emphasize spiritual themes. This expresses\nthe artist’s aesthetic philosophy, which is expressed in a contemporary\nartistic manner that is unique from the old-fashioned traditional technique.\nThe brown layer is portrayed as the background on the eyes in this painting,\nwhich cover the full space of the canvas. Round shapes embellished with tiny\ndots are combined to give the picture a sense of depth and balance, which\nenhances its beauty. The various artistic techniques he employed gave the\npainting a wonderful spiritual aura.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

In this\npiece of art, we can observe the use of color with freely represented human\nfigures in the painting’s composition that combines spatial structure to\nproduce harmony. The five levels outside of the category of the picture are\nrepresented by the images we see in this artwork, which are portrayed in\nenigmatic and symbolic ways. This is depicted on the painting’s initial level\nas eight umbrellas. The figures on the corners depict the four saints, who are\nlinked to one another in a bright, intricate arrangement using different\ncolor-layer symbols. Moreover, there are round objects with a halo <\/i>or nimbi <\/i>that\nstand in for the sacred emblem. The twelve disciples, who are primarily shown\nas in the New Testament, are exhibited in the second circle in a non-circular,\nspherical frontal structure. It seems to stand for renewal, fertility, and\neternity both in antiquity and today. The third level represents the light’s\nreflection, the fourth level is the image of a red flower, and the fifth level\nis the realm of darkness. The power of attraction can be observed shifting from\nthe wide to the narrow form when the entire picture is seen.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

The saints\nseated on the first step, however, appear to be attempting to unite everyone\nand enter the dark world, in contrast to the work’s title. They can be seen\nclosing and embracing the environment interconnected in all four directions.\nWorku Goshu appears to have broken the canonical rules of our art country’s\ntraditional ecclesiastical art style in this deep and mystical subject.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>
