Anita

Oct 30, 2019

Angel Ceron's precious art piece blesses my home.

As many times as my eyes scanned all the art pieces available on Novica's site, again and again I returned to Angel Ceron's "Aztec Duality." The meaning of the mask as well as it's beauty spoke to me, captivated me. And when the two I ordered arrived at my home and I saw them in their three dimensional beauty, I appreciated their sacredness even more. They now hover above the entry to my home, blessing all who enter it.
