Artist Statement

This painting is an Acrylic on canvas full of layers and texture. My painting ideas come out of my thoughts about God and the Scripture.

How it fits into contest

According to Ephesians 6:10-18, our battles must be in heavenly realms. This painting is about praying in the Spirit and how praying leads us to a heavenly dimension. When we are praying, we are able to leave tears and pain behind, and get into a powerful environment, where we receive our armor, and stand firm when the evil day comes.
