Bewitching the Sphinx
Bewitching the Sphinx – oil on canvas – 80 x 60 cm – 2024
Traditionally the sphinx is the guardian of knowledge which must be kept secret. This is sometime represented by the ball at his feet. In this painting the female protagonist is tricking the sphinx to reveal its secrets, making this painting about deception, trust and the revealing of our inner most selves. It can also be seen as the two parts of each of ourselves: the conscious and the unconscious and how we keep secrets from ourselves.

I love this stunning Anu print ! It was packaged well and delivery was speedy, thank you. The quality of this print is astounding; I have wanted one of Jake's prints for a long time, it was better than I had hoped! Absolutely beautiful! She is more than beautiful and an inspiration to me. Incredible artwork! Really unique! Gives unique feeling in the room where we have it and its energy feels very alive. It projects something special to the whole house; like a divine protection. The intersection of true artful human expression and well-tended subconscious emanations - this is how I see Jake's art, and especially 'Gemini.' Exquisite!!! The Quest’s sumptuous colors come to life as she invites the viewer to join her on her journey! She is printed on the most lovely paper. She exudes with beauty! Thank you for this beautiful piece! Excellent A real masterpiece A masterpiece, I love it

I was delighted to come across Jake's art. The process of discovery and acquisition of the print have been wonderfully human and pleasant. Mark is an absolute delight in correspondence. I can't wait to have the print back from the framers' and hang it on my wall. I may just place a chair before it and sit with it when I feel in need of a meaningful conversation.
Thank you, Jake & MarkVerified ownerVerified ownerVerified ownerVerified owner
