"He Holds the Future"

Mixed media on canvas
10,000LE (US$ 1666)  sold

"We don't own the future, the past is long gone, we don't have complete control over our present the road ahead therefore remains an unknown entity. Life however, is not judged by a time frame, but through the deep meaningful experiences and encounters of everyday. Brotherly love and compassion brighter our life and give us the courage and energy to go on. Moreover, when we patiently work on cultivating inner character traits like hope, perseverance, belief in the worth of every human being, we become better equipped to face the challenges on the future.

In my square painting a single woman appears to be walking towards us out of the desert. We see the road behind her consisting of alternating calcite rocks and quick sand alluding to life's fluctuating moods and experiences. She has already come a long way. the big smile on her face reflects not only her cheerful disposition but her deeply rooted faith. Her motto is the secret of her smile; "I don't know what the future holds, but I know Him who holds the future."
