Month: December 2024

Today I'm presenting a new commissioned painting that I've finally been able to complete. It took me a little longer to create a preliminary study in my sketchbook because I didn't know exactly how to realize the painting creatively.

I have already received very positive feedback from the client. Here is the text I wrote to him about the picture:

When I prayed for you, I had the impression that Jesus wanted to give you a new pair of spiritual glasses, almost like night-vision goggles. With your normal eyes, you can only see the perhaps disturbing events in the world and in yourself, which may even frighten you. But Jesus wants to give you a pair of glasses with which you can see into the spiritual reality, i.e. recognize God's perspective. You can suddenly see light, love and hope in a dark world. Jesus wants to show you His view of things. He wants to lead and guide you. He wants to show you where to go, where you should go, at what pace, when it is time to move on, when you should stop and take a break, He wants to warn you of dangers, show you when and where there are divine moments that you might miss.

Now, of course, you have to accept these glasses and say YES to them. And, of course, to put them on again and again, i.e. to decide again and again for God's perspective and to tear your gaze away from those things in the world that want to frighten you. Jesus wants to teach you how to use these glasses, how to deal with what you see through them! Enjoy your new glasses and the picture.

I'm looking forward to your feedback.”
