34x34cm, oil on linen, artist made frame
In The Mystic, a young reader holds a small green book while a hummingbird spreads its wings across her eyes like a living veil. The bird becomes both mask and messenger, suggesting that true sight does not always come through the ordinary senses.
Behind her rises a quiet city of towers beneath a violet moon. It feels both ancient and newly discovered, as if we are witnessing the moment when imagination begins to transform the world around us.
The painting carries a familiar tension found throughout Beerhorst’s work: the meeting place between inner vision and the visible world. The hummingbird — a creature of speed, delicacy, and improbable flight — becomes a symbol of intuition itself, hovering at the threshold between thought and revelation.
The figure reads, yet she does not see the page. Her sight has been taken elsewhere.

This work invites the viewer to pause and consider the quiet moment when perception shifts — when the mind closes its eyes and another way of seeing begins.
