Overview
20"x 32" Oil pastels and acrylics with a hand-carved texture. HOPE is a seed that when nurtured and watered, grows into a beautiful inner child that we are privileged to incubate and befriend throughout our entire lives. This painting pays tribute to the Christ-essence from all religions known to mankind that resides deep within our hearts. Regardless of what or whom we choose to believe in or to worship throughout our lifetime, HOPE and its amazing gift is time-less, without regard to origin or nationality, nor to cultural or ethnic background, creed or religious belief.
Even before we were conceived and planted in our mother's womb with the grace and the virtues of DNA, the creative Spirit that flows in and out of the cosmos lit the flame of hope and placed it gently within our being to be nurtured and built into an infinite source of inspiration. That flame can only be extinguished if we choose to do so.
This image encompasses the tree of life - as symbolized by a cross - and the human figure and presence who is the only being that has the ability to embody and manifest truly amazing and spectacular deeds in the face of adversity, hardship, oppression and self-destructiveness.
