Archangel Michael – Golden Divine Fine Art Photography by Zack Zublena

Description

This masterpiece was not created in a single moment. It took five years to come together — from the day Zack first captured the raw human form, to the moment he added the golden wings, and finally to its revelation as the presence of Archangel Michael himself. Such a span of time is not accidental; it mirrors the slow and mysterious process of divine timing. In art, as in faith, true revelations are not rushed. They unfold when both artist and creation are ready, arriving as though Heaven itself decreed the moment.

This reminds us that sacred art is not only about technique, but about surrender. Just as spiritual growth requires patience, so too does the artistic journey: layer after layer, vision after vision, until at last the work becomes what it was always meant to be.

In this vision, Michael does not gaze directly at the scene before him. His head turns upward and away, not in indifference, but in reverence. It symbolizes his alignment with the divine will — a reminder that angels act not from their own desire, but as instruments of God’s command. By averting his eyes from the earthly struggle, Michael affirms that salvation comes from above, and that his strength flows only from the Source he serves.

His upward glance also carries another meaning: he does not dwell on darkness, suffering, or despair. Instead, his gaze remains fixed on the eternal light, channeling it down through his wings to shelter the vulnerable soul beneath him. In this way, the composition teaches us that true protection is not born from focusing on fear, but from unwavering trust in the divine.

This powerful golden fine art piece by Zack Zublena evokes the protective presence of Archangel Michael — the divine guardian, celestial warrior, and defender of souls. Traditionally depicted with a flaming sword, Michael here descends without weapons. In Zack’s vision, his strength is not in battle, but in salvation. His towering golden wings form a shield around a fallen feminine figure, embodying the moment when divine guardianship bends down to rescue, not destroy.

Through the fusion of sculpture-like bodies and radiant wings, this work captures the mystery of refuge, strength, and spiritual surrender. The woman at Michael’s feet is not abandoned — she is being lifted by his light, saved from despair, and held within the all-encompassing embrace of heaven’s most powerful protector.

As Zack explores in his book The Sacred Power of Gold (available on Amazon, where he explains how Jesus saved his life during a near-death experience), gold carries a sacred frequency across cultures: incorruptibility, divine light, and eternal presence. In this piece, gold becomes Michael’s aura — his shield and radiance, a reminder that protection often comes not through violence, but through unseen angelic forms that surround us with invisible grace.

This image is also deeply resonant with audiences of The Chosen — the global TV phenomenon about the life of Jesus. Just as the series brings Scripture into a modern light, this artwork reimagines Archangel Michael for today’s world, offering not just beauty but a visual prayer of protection and faith. Jesus is back and he is here to stay. Collectors who are moved by The Chosen’s storytelling will find in this piece the same spirit of devotion, resilience, and divine guardianship. 

This image is part of the Holy Collection, a sacred series of gold-painted fine art photography inspired by Catholic tradition, Marian devotion, and timeless angelic archetypes. It speaks to those who seek not only beauty, but also energetic protection, emotional healing, and the embodiment of divine strength in their sacred spaces.

Prayer to the Archangel Saint Michael the Protector: 
“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.”
