Hand of God

oil on canvas

Hand of God features a vividly colored hand reaching upward against a gradient background that transitions from deep reds to soft blues. The arm has brush-stroked muscles of color, reminding the viewer of the colors on an artist’s palette. The hand has root-like extensions that blend into the sky. Thin, delicate lines radiate from the fingertips, suggesting energy, growth, or divine intervention. 

The overall effect is dynamic movement and spiritual ascension, capturing a moment of creation or divine touch. The blend of surreal and abstract elements evokes a sense of wonder and the powerful connection between the earthly and the divine. Hand of God is the artist’s reflection on talent. While the title invokes religious connotations, it is a metaphor for the divine power of creation found in every artist. It highlights the metamorphosis of colors into beauty and significance, all through the use of basic materials.

The painting challenges the viewer to look beyond superficial appearances and recognize every individual's unseen, often underestimated potential. It also explores how science and spiritual enlightenment work together in the act of creation. The artwork is a universal commentary on the struggles and triumphs of every artist. It underscores the idea that talent, like an aura or magnetic field, exudes from within and cannot be constrained by external judgments or limitations. Hand of God is a tribute to the boundless nature of artistry. Through this painting, the artist invites us to recognize and celebrate the creativity within us all.
