Angels Ascending Fresco in Addis Ababa Chapel

by Jesus Rivers

Soft, diffused daylight floods the interior of a stone chapel in Addis Ababa, illuminating a ceiling fresco where painted angels drift upward into swirling clouds. The figures appear as dark silhouettes against the bright sky of the mural, their robes and wings rendered in muted earth tones of ochre, sienna, and faded blue. Rough-hewn stone walls anchor the space, while the dry season light casts no harsh shadows, only a gentle, even glow across the textured plaster. Below, the polished stone floor holds muted reflections of the ceiling, mirroring the ascending forms in a quiet, inverted dance. The stillness is absolute, marked by the specific geometric arches of the architecture and the dust motes suspended in the air, resting on the cool, grey stone floor beneath the painted heavens.
