The key elements of the original Bitcoin Angel painting are present in the Ascended Angel, with emphasis on the majestical qualities of the Bernini sculpture. It elicits the visceral spiritual reactions that are experienced by those who view the original sculpture in the Cornaro Chapel in Rome.

The piece seeks to create an almost meditative experience for the observer, offering an in-the-round encounter that liberates the viewer from the limitations of the static perspective of a two-dimensional painting. Resplendent in celestial shimmering precious metals, bathed in golden beams of divinity, and suffused with a transcendental choral soundscape, the viewer is invited into a celebration of the ecstasy that St. Teresa experienced. This is the ecstasy that any of us can feel upon an epiphany, success, or indeed the simple pleasure of discovering a beautiful piece of art.
