"Hope" Illuminated with 23k gold leaf

Hope is the God-given oxygen of our lives; without hope, humanity could not survive. Our hope in the Lord is the power that sustains us, rooted in the belief that a life lived in truth with Him will bear fruit.

"O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in Thee" - Psalm 33:20-22.

The word "HOPE" is gilded with 23k gold leaf set against a green spotted background. 

Green symbolizes hope, eternal life, renewal, growth, fruitfulness, and salvation—the colors associated with the Great and Holy Feast of Pentecost. Gold, on the other hand, is a timeless symbol of God's eternal love.

Glory be to God for His great mercy, which bestows hope upon us. May this little painting serve as a reminder of His love for mankind. For behold, He Himself says,

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:13

For He laid down His life for us, granting us the eternal hope of a life in and with Him unto eternity.

The word "Hope" is painted on Pintura (Italy) linen canvas and gilded with 23k gold leaf from Noris Blattgold, Germany.

Dimensions: 10 x 10 x 1.2 cm (approx) stretched canvas on frame.
