Isis Sunrise 60" x 96" oil

0.0 x 0.0

The Temple of Isi has provided many years of painting fascination for me as an artist. I have completed numerous paintings of Isis over the last 25 years; the largest being 80" x 160" and purchased by the Tucson Desert Art Museum for their permanent collection. The temple of Isis is one of the most prominent geological features of the Grand Canyon. It's strata comprises numerous layers of sediment exposing 1.7 billion years of our planets history. Isis, Egyptian Aset or Eset, is one of the most important goddesses of ancient Egypt. Her name is the Greek form of an ancient Egyptian word for “throne.” Read more on the Egyptian mythology of Isis here: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Isis-Egyptian-goddess. ~ Arturo Chavez ~
