When creating this piece, I wanted to display the strength of the warrior, I was experimenting with different patterns and color schemes together. I was inspired by a blend of cultures.
This scripture identifies the importance of the armor of God and the strength that faith has. I thought it would be a good idea to cover the warriors mouth because his strong stance presents readiness and with that peace follows. The warrior has a tight grip on a pole letting his enemy know he's holding his ground. When Satan strikes, strike back with God. I added two swords in the back, the breast plate, helmet and other forms of protection that make up the armor of God.
