Description:
This visionary painting, titled "Interiorem Vocationem" (Latin for "The Inner Calling"), allegorically illustrates the soul’s awakening and its divine summons toward transcendence. The composition is solemn and symmetrical, emphasizing the sacred harmony of the divine order.

At the center, two identical angelic beings — golden-haired, dressed in flowing white and blue garments — stand face to face, each blowing a golden trumpet. Their symbolic sound is directed toward a radiant pink heart in the center of the canvas, representing the soul’s deep inner calling — not perceived by the ears, but felt within the core of being.

Above the angels lies the celestial goal of this call: a luminous, ethereal city or heavenly castle that evokes the New Jerusalem. A grand staircase bathed in golden light ascends toward its gates.

A stream of light connects the awakened heart with the base of the staircase, suggesting that responding to the inner vocation is the sole path to ascension and higher states of consciousness.

The painting emanates spiritual grandeur, hope, and solemn sacredness, rendered in Lucius’s signature visionary style.
