"I am the Light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." ??ohn 8:12The latest beautiful image of the Savior by Simon Dewey

I love the Gospel of John. The opening verses of chapter one are at once poetic and sublime, simple yet profound: ??n the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....In him was life; and the life was the light of men.??To each of us on this journey home, John?? powerful witness of the Savior remains a guide as we come to realize the reality of it for ourselves. ??e beheld his glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.??/p> ...

I am the resurrection, and the life. he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. ~ John 11:25Perhaps the most awesome event in history was that glorious moment when the Son of God stepped from the tomb and broke the chains of death that held us all bound. In that instant, majestic and triumphant, the singular act of sacrifice and love on the part of the Son and the Father bore fruit and gave us all the gift of life. As the son rose upon that first Easter day, the world was...

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. ~ Matthew 6:28The enduring image of Christ as our shepherd has been portrayed in countless ways throughout history. I love the 23rd Psalm and the peace and comforts it brings. I wanted the warm colors in this painting to symbolize the warmth we can feel in knowing that He is watching over us. Just as he is our Shepherd He has asked us to be his under-shepherds in watching over His flock. My hope is that you can feel the love and...

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ~ Matthew 5:16  In this painting I wanted to depict the Savior with open arms, welcoming and inviting us to come unto Him, the Prince of Peace. My intention was to create an expression of His softness, forgiveness, and understanding; for He knows us and...

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness". ??Psalms 23:2 This beautiful green pasture reminds me of the countryside I loved to roam as a boy growing up in England. The path in this painting represents our journey through life, and Christ is on the path watching over us. He is the Savior of all who will accept Him, but most importantly He is the Savior for us individually. In this painting the Savior is caring for the individual lamb while...

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. ~ John 8:58 There are many names and titles for Jesus the Christ. Each has something unique to inspire in our minds one of the attributes of the Son of the living God. Several of these begin with ?? Am???? Am the Bread of Life, I Am the Light of the World, I Am the Good Shepherd. Each one of these is beautiful and reveals a part of our Savior?? purpose and being. However, it occurred to me that while all of...

"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...

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. ~ Psalms 23:1-2The enduring image of Christ as our shepherd has been portrayed in countless ways throughout history. I love the 23rd Psalm and the peace and comforts it brings. I wanted the warm colors in this painting to symbolize the warmth we can feel in knowing that He is watching over us. Just as he is our Shepherd He has asked us to be his under-shepherds in...

In John 17 we witness the Savior in prayer to His Father. We see in this prayer Christ?? humility and willingness to do the work He had been given to do as well as His expression of love for us by praying on our behalf. I wanted to focus on His face and His hands because to me it represents the hope, faith, and humility that come with sincere prayer. He is our perfect example of how to pray and hopefully this painting helps us as we pray in faith for ourselves and in behalf of those that we...

Remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation. I believe that one?? image of Christ is a very personal thing, and I take a great deal of personal responsibility in painting the Savior ??my Savior. I wanted to convey in this painting both His strength and His sensitivity. To go through everything that He did for us and yet He was sensitive and caring enough to recognize and heal so much pain and hurt. I wanted...

"While painting “Resurrection and the Life”, my main goal was to portray a Jesus Christ who I could relate to as a real person. Although I based His face on my earlier "Light of the World" image, I did want to portray Him against a familiar looking background, wearing clothes similar to what He may have worn during His mortality. I also used less saturated, earthy tones. I want the viewer to understand that He actually does exist, and that He is not just a man from ancient stories. Jesus...

O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. ~ Matthew 26:39Words fail when attempting to verbalize the enormity of the Atonement. Oh, the infinite wisdom of our Father in Heaven, to create this singular situation- with the knowledge that his beloved Son would be required to fulfill the plan in harrowing torment. As we marvel at his love and sacrifice, let us do as the Savior instructed his apostles in Gethsemane, and pray that we...

Story Behind the Art:In this painting, Christ is shown taking a momentary pause in His journey to gaze back towards us, with a hand outstretched in invitation, saying, “Come, follow me”. The painting shows Him leaving the dark and dreary wilderness and entering into a meadow full of light. Each of our lives can be full of light if we but choose to follow Him. - Brent Borup

Matthew 26Story Behind the ArtThe light seems to break the gray-blue of the evening and melts with the clothing and figure of the Lord, who looks like an abstract triangle. In this composition I have selected almost exclusively the use of intersecting diagonal lines. This dynamism supports a moment of extreme tension and forces that collide as spades crossing in battle. At this moment the salvation of humankind was being defined. As Isaiah of old said “But he was wounded for our...

Story Behind the Art:We are counseled to “look forward with an eye of faith” (Alma 5:15) to the day when we will stand before the Lord Jesus Christ. The famous “Christus” sculpture by Bertel Thorvaldsen has inspired millions of Christians across the world to see the risen Christ with the eye of faith. The red robe in my painting symbolizes the Atonement for our sins, for when Christ comes again He “shall be red in his apparel” (Doctrine & Covenants 133:48; see also Revelation 19:13). This...

"Pondering... That was the specific thought I had when I created this piece. During my personal study time on my mission for the LDS Church, I remember reading about Spencer W. Kimball, how he would get up early and walk around his property, just to be alone and ponder, He said that was one of the best times to feel the Spirit and receive revelation - early in the morning. I like to think that although Christ was very social, and loved other people, he also liked to be alone at times, so He...

… I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.- John 8:12Story Behind the Art:Titled “Our Light” for He is what illuminates everything for us. The light is the focus in this painting because the more Christ is in our lives through our thoughts, words and actions, the more our days and hours will flood over with His light! - Dan Wilson

Dan Wilson

Story Behind the Art:The Hebrew word “Messiah” and the Greek word “Christ” are both given to Jesus and both mean “the anointed one.” This title indicates His royal nature (anciently a king was anointed when crowned) and His submissive nature (sacrificial lambs were anointed before being offered upon the altar of the temple). In this painting, Christ is shown anointed by light, accepting the Father’s will as the Lamb of God to be sacrificed for the sins of the people, and equally, being crowned...
