The Ascension
24 × 36 inches — Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas
In this work, heaven and earth meet in movement, light, and promise.

The composition rises upward through layers of luminous blue, white, and gold, evoking the mystery of Christ ascending into glory while remaining eternally present to His people.
At the center of the painting is not absence, but radiance.

The ascending movement draws the eye heavenward, while the glowing circular form below recalls the Holy Eucharist — the abiding presence of Christ who promised, “I am with you always.” The work therefore speaks not only of departure, but of communion: the Lord ascending into eternal glory while continuing to sustain creation through divine love.
The contrasting fields of earth and sky symbolize the tension between the visible and invisible worlds, the temporal and the eternal. Textured layers and sweeping gestures invite the viewer into contemplation rather than explanation, allowing the mystery itself to unfold interiorly.
The Ascension is ultimately a meditation on hope, fulfillment, and the destiny of the human soul. It speaks of the promise that one day humanity will be gathered fully into the presence of the Almighty — received not into emptiness, but into eternal love itself. The upward movement within the painting becomes a kind of spiritual roadmap, reminding the viewer that the journey of the soul does not end here. Through grace, through suffering, through trust, and through the abiding presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, we are being drawn upward toward reunion with the Eternal One. One day, in the fullness of His mercy, we too shall rest in the embrace of the Lord Jesus Christ — His majesty — where every longing finds its peace in divine love.
