About "Floral Cathedral"

I was fortunate enough to be at Calloway Gardens,near Atlanta Georgia, in early Spring when the azalea's and rhododendrons were in full bloom. These gardens are absolutely spectacular.

The original is unstretched and so can be rolled in a heavy cardboard tube for safe international shipment

About Dr. Michael

Dr. Michael Durst

Dr. Michael is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

According to the Ico Gallery in New York, "Dr. Michael Durst is one of the most exciting South African artists. As a psychologist, Dr. Durst’s paintings create not only beauty for the beholder, but also a state of relaxation and healing. His work combines realism with impressionism, evoking an emotional link to the heart—thus the name: “Heartscapes.”

Dr. Durst loves to paint the beauty of Cape Town--especially the Waterfront, Table Mountain, ocean views, spring flowers, the vineyards and, of course, the people of the Cape. According to Dr. Durst, "I like to re-create a "magical moment" that I have experienced. As I do so, I strive to achieve a delicate balance between the realism of the scene and the even greater intensity created by light, texture and colour. At a certain juncture, an integration occurs. The captured moment in time is taken in without judgment by the brain, allowing the vibrational intensity to adjust the frequency of the heart’s rhythms. As the integrated process continues, the viewer becomes awash with positive emotions, a sense of peace, and greater coherence…all of which contribute to physical, mental and spiritual healing."
