Description
Ascension – Embellished Canvas Print
Maria Magdalena Series.
A solitary feminine figure walks the ancient steps toward a pyramid of light.
Purple skies gather. Autumnal gold radiates from within.
This is not simply a landscape — it is a threshold.
Ascension is the second work in my Maria Magdalena Series, a four-part spiritual journey through devotion, initiation, illumination and love. Where Sacrifice was surrender, Ascension is awakening.
Born from a life-altering experience inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, this piece carries the memory of stillness inside stone — and the moment life quietly changes direction. Sitting within the sarcophagus in the upper chamber, something shifted within me. Soon after, my marriage ended. In that season of standing alone, my spiritual path truly began.
This painting emerged through prayer, meditation, and a conscious alignment with Oneness. I did not feel alone in its making. I felt guided.
The ascending steps, the illuminated pyramid, the solitary Maria Magdalena — each element speaks of initiation. The courage to enter the unknown. The willingness to rise.
The Embellished Canvas Print
This is not a standard reproduction.
Each embellished canvas print is individually transformed by hand in my studio.
* Enhanced with applied gold leaf to echo the original’s divine light
* Additional hand-built texture to recreate depth and movement
* Subtle colour enhancement to intensify the purple and autumnal gold palette
Every print is hand embellished by Marja Brown and therefore becomes an original embellished print — one-of-a-kind in its surface and finish.
This offers the presence of a collector artwork with the accessibility of a limited edition style format — refined, dimensional, and deeply personal.
Series Significance
In 1946, my father gave me the name Maria Magdalena — long before she was widely recognised as a close companion of Jesus, or understood as a high initiated priestess within the Essene tradition.
That name has walked quietly beside me all my life.
This series is my response to it.
Sacrifice is where it began.
Ascension may stand alone, yet it forms part of a sacred progression within the Maria Magdalena Series — making it especially meaningful for collectors drawn to spiritual narrative and timeless symbolism.
