James Christensen - Angels of My Village

The Saints and Angels Collection
Angels of My Village is Fine art Papier en Metal. A unique process combining layers of metallic foil, opaque white ink,process ink and touch colors onto fine art paper to reproduce the radiant halo effects of gold,silver,and bronze in the original art.

While traveling in Umbria a past summer, artist James Christensen was inspired by the architecture of the region, the "piled and stacked buildings" of the hill towns. He filled his sketchbooks with Italian landscapes and cityscapes such as the one found in his newest piece, Angels of My Village. The illuminated landscape and hand-layered gold leaf of the painting call to mind the angels found in medieval manuscripts.

"In my mind it was kind of a thank-you painting for the feelings that we're not alone. I think we need to remember that we do have angels watching over us. Even if you live in New York City, you have your village. I know every single person within three blocks of me. We help one another and are the angels for one another. We are the angels of our villages." - James Christensen
