The artwork titled “Irene Mary & The Cosmical Cometan” was created by the artist David Young in 2020 in Cornwall, United Kingdom. Executed in paint, the artwork aligns with the Realism and Digital Art movements. It belongs to the genres of religious painting and portrait.
The artwork depicts two figures set against a rich, dark purple background sprinkled with stars. The elder figure, a woman, is dressed in a blue coat adorned with a cross necklace, suggesting religious connotations. Her head is encircled by a halo, further emphasizing her saintly or holy representation. She is holding hands with a young boy, who is attired in a striped shirt and overalls. The boy’s head is likewise surrounded by a luminously decorative halo, composed of various small, colorful objects. This interaction between the figures, coupled with their celestial embellishments, imbues the scene with a sense of deep spirituality and cosmic significance.
