Revival is a painting that explores the themes of baptism and blessings, but with a fresh perspective. Instead of depicting Spiritual Baptists, I’ve chosen to portray everyday people. The painting reflects the belief that we all have the power to uplift and renew each other, helping to cleanse our spirits from negativity.
The idea behind Revival is rooted in the understanding that as a community, we can create a safe and supportive environment. This is a place where we can come together, offering help and encouragement to one another. In this space, we find the strength to overcome challenges and cleanse our minds and hearts from the burdens we carry.
The painting serves as a reminder that revival and renewal aren’t limited to religious practices. They can happen in our everyday lives, through the connections we share with those around us. We have the ability to lift each other up, to offer blessings in the form of kindness, understanding, and support.
Revival captures the essence of communal strength and the idea that we all play a role in each other’s well-being. It’s about the power of unity and the healing that can come from being part of a caring and compassionate community.
