Artist Statement

. Put on the armour of light is a phrase from Romans 13:12. This painting depicts 3 figures reaching towards the light from which the shield, the helmet, & the sword emerge. I create artwork with spiritual themes; the most recent one being " Pathways of the Prophets".

How it fits into contest

In Ephesians 6, the theme is the armour of God. Romans 13:12 parallels this, " So let us cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light." In this artwork, the saints reach for their " armour of light" descending towards them.
