The content of the sacred writings which is the Bible, is more than just a collection of fascinating stories. It is more than just morality or inspiration. It is about the revelation of God Himself. It establishes the greatness of He who is Author, Creator, and Owner of the life and existence of everything that there is. And most especially man, who was created in the image of God. Without a proper understanding of God, there would be no proper understanding of man.

Hanging on this truth is the very existence and eternity of every single human being. The symbolisms in Scripture, which the artist attempts to capture and express in his work, are meant to send the very message of the Bible itself which is no less than hope and salvation: God is the Savior of sinful man. It was endeavored to show an honest and faithful presentation of truth and reality that sadly escapes the consciousness of many.

It is the desire of the artist that through what the eyes can see in this artwork collection, an even greater reality may be brought to light. It is not seen plainly with the eyes, but it can be perceived by the mind and touches the heart. For above and beyond is He, whose greatness, majesty, and love are compelling. May all this artwork, a mere humble attempt, achieve its glorious ambition to illustrate and exalt Him who rules over all. May He who has fashioned the artist’s hands and whole being, fashion your minds and hearts to see who He really is.
