Artist bio

Ziteto Lubaki Christ is 23 years old. He is a young painter from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is one of 6 children. Ziteto was raised by a paternal uncle when his mom died at the age of 7. He graduated in Plastic Art (painting) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa. He continued to pursue his passion for art specifically in painting after graduation and during his licensing cycle. Although he also pursued humanitarian studies of general pedagogy from the University of Kinshasa, Ziteto decided that his real passion was in art specifically in painting. The people who influenced him most are: his mother, uncle, older sisters and brothers and other artists like JP Mika, Silas Onoja, El George, KS Bloom, Pastor Lema Diamonika, Pastor Athoms Mbuma. Ziteto would like to be a Christian painter, portraitist, and draftsman. In the future, Ziteto wants to continue to develop as an artist so h can impact future Congolese artists. He would like to create a studio for Congolese youth artists in which he can provide them with opportunities to learn about art and to paint and a gallery in which their pieces can be displayed.

Title

Fully Armored with God’s Power

Medium/Genre

Painting

Artist Statement

The painting was made with an acrylic monochrome background and oil paints on canvas and depicts a Christian soldier, fully armored, prayerful, and confident in his firm embrace of the word of God in his life and the power this word has to fight against all evil spirits that are encountered. This spiritual power protects the Christian soldier and, at the same time, actively confronts the evil spirits on the battlefield of the soldier’s mind (Ephesians 6:10-20 & 2 Corinthians 10:3-5).

How it fits into contest

The Christian soldier who is fully armored with God’s power is well prepared for the Christian Spiritual Battle with an assortment of weapons and defenses. It is not a carnal battle but a spiritual battle against the evil powers and forces that Christians who have put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20) encounter in their daily lives. Because these weapons are powerful, Christians have the capability of overcoming and defeating their evil foe.
