The moment your heart burns - By: Ram Castillo
On the 12th day of May 2008 I witnessed (along with thousands of others) a perfect circle in the form of a rainbow around the sun at about noon-time at a beautiful place in the Philippines.
Completely perplexed, stunned and amazed at this extraordinary and divine sight, I HAD to create this artwork. Im not sure where you were or what you were doing at this same moment of time but I guess this is all we have. Small pigments of time all squeezed together. And if we’re blessed enough, we get moments like these and realise even for a second the gravity of God’s love.
There were no photo’s taken at the time and all I had available to me was the memory of this moment…
The moment my heart burned.
Print available.
Vector digital art created in illustrator.

It’s a very lovely image, Ram. I’d love to know what the dragons are about!?

How gorgeous. I would have liked to have seen that. Your are so fortunate that you did.
Ram Castillo in reply to Graham Lea’s comment, 6 months ago
Thank you Graham. Well, there’s a saying… “the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist”. The dragons represent the other side. Evil and all that it encompasses. Such is life and our choices. The right.. and the wrong.

Thank you Glenda! Yes it was unbelievably breathtaking! But i guess that moment inspired me to make this artwork, and it wouldn’t exist if i didn’t see that. Im glad you liked this piece!

Unbelieveable! How beautiful was it. Like at holy week when the clouds formed that perfect circle around the moon at something like 4 in the moring.
I love this one. It’s my new favourite. You captured everything about that moment.
Hey where’s the dragon?
Ram Castillo in reply to bunniballerina’s comment, 6 months ago
there are five dragons and a tonne of hands reaching out. At the bottom in the ground, You might not be able to see it on your screen.

I see it now. I changed the brightness of the screen. That’s awesome.

Beautiful sentiments. I think the more we slow down to notice beauty the more chance we will create and share beauty.
Ram Castillo in reply to Tony Ryan’s comment, 6 months ago
Spot on Tony. I couldn’t agree with you more!
