This painting is influenced by my recent studies and completion of an art history diploma. Throughout the ages art was used to encourage religious piety. A central theme is Christ's exclamation on the cross"father, forgive them for they know not what they do".
In today's modern world we have many seemingly unjust situations and one must often reflect on Christ's words to understand the short comings of men and women and then look within to the compartments of the soul to find inner strength to keep making this a better world.
