Title: "Illuminated Devotion"
Location: Bagan, Myanmar
Photographer: Sharon Lewin
In the hushed ambiance of an ancient temple in Bagan, Myanmar, I captured a moment of quiet intimacy: two young monks, their faces bathed in the golden glow of candlelight. There was something profoundly touching in the way the light flickered across their serene expressions, illuminating their young features while they tended to the flames. This was a dance of light and shadow that spoke to the heart of Myanmar's spiritual life, a ritual that has been repeated by countless generations before them.
As I watched them, a profound sense of peace settled over me, the same tranquility that seemed to envelop the temple's time-stained walls. This was the reason for my journey here—not just to witness the grandeur of Bagan's storied pagodas, but to feel the pulse of devotion that animates this sacred landscape. In the quiet focus of these novices, I saw the living breath of tradition, a testament to the enduring legacy of faith in this land of golden spires and silent Buddhas.

Gallery Twelve Story
Gallery Twelve Story
In the heart of artistic endeavour and a world filled with inspiration, Gallery Twelve was born. It's more than just a name; it's a reflection of our journey and the twelve unique visions that shape our artistry.
The Genesis
Gallery Twelve is the brainchild of Sharon Lewin, a wanderer at heart and an artist by soul. The idea was conceived during years of exploration, traveling the globe and immersing oneself in diverse cultures, landscapes, and stories. Every place visited, every face encountered, every sunset witnessed—they all whispered tales waiting to be shared through the lens.
The Twelve Visions
Twelve visions, carefully crafted by Sharon Lewin’s lens, form the cornerstone of Gallery Twelve. Each vision is a testament to a moment captured in time, a story frozen in a frame, an emotion immortalised. From the bustling streets of New York City to the to the serene landscapes of New Zealand, every image is a piece of a larger narrative.
A Commitment to Excellence
Gallery Twelve stands for quality, not quantity. Each image in our collection is painstakingly curated, reflecting the highest standards of craftsmanship and artistic finesse. We believe in the power of subtlety, letting the images breathe and speak for themselves, creating a connection that goes beyond the physical realm.
Art with a Purpose
At Gallery Twelve, we believe in using our art to make a positive difference. A portion of every purchase goes toward supporting causes close to our hearts. We've chosen to give back, to uplift communities, and to leave a lasting impact on the world. Our art isn't just for walls; it's a catalyst for change.
The Heartbeat of Every Month
On the 12th of every month, we introduce a new vision to the world—an open edition image available for just 24 hours. This monthly tradition is our way of infusing a sense of excitement and anticipation into our community. It's a chance for art enthusiasts to own a piece of Gallery Twelve's magic, to be part of our ongoing journey.
