"For my whole life, the one painting that I wanted to create the most above anything else was a portrait of Jesus Christ. I worked on many different portraits of Christ through the years, but I was never quite satisfied with any of them until I painted "Light of the World". I have since based many paintings off of this one image. You may find it interesting that I painted this portrait during a very low point in my life. I had been really struggling to see any success as an artist, and after a few weeks of particularly trying circumstances, I was very close to making some major "career choice" changes. I believe that my Father in Heaven wanted me to stay the course. When I decided to use some new reference material to alter a previous similar looking portrait that just wasn't quite right, everything seemed to fall into place. I do believe that I had Divine help that day, because this was one of the easiest paintings that I have ever created. I feel that what sets this painting apart from any of my previous work, is the fact that I wasn't trying to paint what Christ looks like, but I was trying to paint what He feels like, because although I have never seen Him, I have felt Him, and I believe if you can somehow capture that feeling into a work of art, then you can't go wrong. This is my way of sharing my testimony of Christ with others. He is real. He loves you. I want people to look at this painting and know it." - Brent Borup
I love this picture of Our Lord and Savior. The colors are perfect for any decor. When I look at the photo I can feel His great love and sacrifice for all His children.
This piece of art brings a special spirit into our home.
Beautiful addition to our home. Like the artist, this portrait reflects how the Savior makes me feel.
This is by far my favorite picture of Christ. There is something so peaceful and inviting about it. The print quality is amazing and I am excited to put it up in my house. Shipping was fast and packaged well.
