Community Canvas is an initiative presented by The Culture Show where GBH features artwork from community members on our Digital Mural.
Today’s mural by Merlo Philiossaint depicts a Sphinx. This artwork serves to encourage a love of reading. The Sphinx in many cultures is seen as a type of guardian and is often associated with knowledge.
“Many of us may be familiar with the story of the Sphinx and its riddle,” Philiossaint says. “As an avid lover of books, I felt a Sphinx was the perfect imagery to represent this.”
Philiossaint is a professional artist, who specializes in graphite, oil, acrylic, 3D modeling, animation, and ink.
