The Illumined Heart (2025)

30 x 30 in. | Mixed Media on Canvas

The Illumined Heart is the radiant centerpiece of The New Book of Kells—an artistic journey through light, devotion, and transformation. Inspired by medieval manuscript covers, Michael Green reimagines this sacred tradition for a contemporary soul.

Uniting Celtic art with the sacred geometries of the Near East and South Asia, the work reveals a universal language of symmetry, rhythm, and divine harmony. Through a meditative lens shaped by Sufi and Tibetan wisdom, Celtic iconography becomes a mandala of healing and unity—where the heart itself is the axis of illumination.

As Rumi wrote, “A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.” Here, that turning toward the Beloved becomes both art and prayer.

Created with digital and traditional techniques, the piece is printed with archival inks on cotton canvas and hand-finished with natural pigments, gold leaf, and gemstones—bridging ancient reverence and modern vision.

Blessed Be

Each person's life is like a mandala – a vast, limitless circle. We stand in the center of our own circle, and everything we see, hear and think forms the mandala of our life. The architecture of the mandala represents both the nature of reality and the order of an awakened mind.
