About This Piece

The Crow (The Simurgh and the Crow) Oil on canvas 60 x 48 in 152 x 122 cm Michele Mikesell’s The Crow (The Simurgh and the Crow) is a striking figurative painting featuring a woman in a radiant red jumpsuit, her dark hair framing a face rendered with haunting clarity. The figure sits against a pale, patterned wall, the stark backdrop amplifying the intensity of her presence. Striped flooring beneath her feet introduces rhythm and grounding, while the luminous red garment dominates the field with bold, magnetic energy. Though no bird appears in the scene, the title draws us into layered meanings: the crow as trickster, omen, or messenger, and the Simurgh as the mythic Persian bird of wisdom. The unseen crow becomes a metaphor that shadows the figure, adding intrigue and tension to her stillness. Mikesell’s tactile process — scraping, sanding, and layering paint — infuses the work with sensual depth, its surface alive with history and movement. The Crow stands as both contemporary portrait and mythic allegory: a work of commanding scale and psychological resonance that will captivate collectors seeking original oil paintings where visual power and symbolic narrative intertwine.
