"This is my Savior" 16"x20" Hanging Canvas Print
This is the first painting I did on my iPad. I wanted to throw my iPad against the wall a million times as I struggled to figure out how to use it (I still do). I chose to leave Christ faceless mostly because I thought it would be too hard to give him a face that reflected him accurately. It thought I would ruin it if I tried, so I left him.
Now he hangs on my wall and I spend much of my time staring at his facelessness, reflecting on what it may actually look like, and I'm happy that I left him this way.
Often when I see paintings of Christ, I examine his face and think, "close, but not quite." I imagine that his face holds so much love, so much mercy and empathy that it can't be accurately captured in our human depictions. I imagine that the radiant beams that stream from his face will warm our souls with a fire so deep and comforting that we will never want to break our gaze. I imagine that when his face sees ours it will light up in celebration of our long awaited reunion.
I also like to imagine that when I see his face my soul will be met with immediate recognition and I will be able to say "This, this is my savior."
