Hallowed by Thy Name: Pearlescent Print

"Hallowed be Thy Name" invites contemplation through a quiet moment frozen in time—a portrayal of Jesus caught in deep reflection and prayer. This piece reveals a side of devotion that feels both intimate and grounded, offering the viewer a space to pause alongside the figure’s serene presence.

Jesus appears with his head gently bowed, eyes closed or lowered, embodying a posture of thoughtful surrender. He is partially enveloped in a shawl of warm, earthy oranges and browns, the fabric’s texture rich and tactile, resting softly across his shoulders and over his head. Beneath this, a white garment falls in tender folds, its simplicity balancing the warmth and depth of the shawl. His hands come together just in front of his face, fingers interlaced or pressed gently, emphasizing the act of prayer as a moment of both vulnerability and strength.

Creating Hallowed be Thy Name was a process marked by attentiveness to nuance—a focus on capturing the subtlety of stillness that holds power. In seeking this balance, the work avoids grand gestures, instead lending itself to an honest portrayal of quiet devotion. The shawl’s vibrant warmth and the gentle folds of the garment reflect both protection and openness, like a figure carefully holding something precious yet unseen.

This painting offers an invitation to engage with the intangible—moments where faith, reflection, and care converge in silence. It challenges us to recognize strength in gentleness, presence in surrender, and holiness in the simple act of prayer. With this piece, I hope to create a visual language that resonates with those who seek a deeper sense of calm and connection amid life’s complexities, reminding us that grace often dwells where we least expect it but most need it.
