breakthrough, 16” x 20” acrylic on canvas
This piece portrays the transformative journey through the obscure veil that keeps us from a deeper spiritual connection with the divine, found in Christ. This commanding piece is a vivid portrayal of the quest for spiritual awakening and the struggle to transcend the darker layers of our reality. In this piece, the use of stark black tones represents the formidable barriers that often cloud our understanding and impede our spiritual journey. These dark areas are intersected by vibrant, chaotic strokes of color and bold white lines, symbolizing the piercing of light through darkness, the moment of epiphany where the physical and spiritual realms converge.
The white lines crisscross the canvas, creating a sense of structure amidst the chaos, echoing the idea of a lattice or a grid — a metaphor for the constructs that we must navigate to progress in our spiritual evolution. Meanwhile, the bursts of color beneath the grid-like pattern represent the richness and complexity of the spiritual realm that awaits beyond the veil. Breakthrough captures the essence of an enlightened state, the moment of profound clarity and connection. It is a piece that not only challenges the viewer visually but also prompts a deeper introspection about their own spiritual journey and the barriers they must overcome to reach a place of higher understanding and communion with the divine. This painting is an ideal focal point for any space dedicated to reflection, meditation, and the pursuit of spiritual truth.
