Native Prayer — Fine Art Portrait

From $450. Click photo for printing options and purchase

There are moments in ceremony when the boundary between the human and the sacred becomes permeable — when the regalia and the dance and the drum and the particular quality of the light conspire to make visible something that is ordinarily felt rather than seen. Native Prayer captures one of those moments in a portrait of extraordinary beauty and spiritual depth: a Native American man in profile, his feathered headdress rising above him against a pale grey sky, the warm golden backlight catching the edges of the feathers and the beadwork and the richly colored regalia with a precision that seems less like photography than like illumination — the light finding what deserves to be found and leaving everything else in its own quiet shadow. The gaze is cast upward and outward, the expression one of complete internal absorption, the face of a man whose attention is directed not at the world around him but at something beyond it. The headdress is extraordinary in its detail and its sculptural force — the roach rising in layers of natural feather, the single eagle feather above it catching the backlight with a luminosity that gives it an almost ceremonial significance of its own, the beaded headband and the dangling bead strands framing a face of remarkable composure and inner focus. The richly embroidered regalia below speaks to a tradition of craft and artistry of the highest order, the deep reds and the intricate beadwork catching the warm light with a jewel-like clarity. Together with its natural companions Ancient and Present — Native American Fine Art Portrait, Regalia — Native American Fine Art Portrait, and The Unbroken — Native American Fine Art Portrait, Native Prayer completes a body of Native American portraiture that honors the full spiritual and ceremonial depth of the tradition — four portraits, four expressions of a living culture rendered with the reverence and the photographic mastery they deserve. Available as a limited edition of 50 worldwide on ChromaLuxe Metal, Lumachrome HD TruLife Acrylic, or DuraPlaq® FloatPlaqs.
