HOPE Prevails





     This particular work is classified as a Mixed Media which is using more than one element and technique to create an artistic expression in a composition. The technique is paper mosaic cut into different sizes and shapes and then adhered to the primed and painted canvas. I used acrylic paints in different consistencies before and after the application of the mosaic pieces to create a meaningful and symbolic portrait of Jesus on the Cross. 
     This painting is strikingly framed in a nailed distressed frame that is glazed in a dark charcoal and hilighted with a fine layer of metallic gold. 

"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say that I am a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.  I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one."  John Lennon
