This image by the artist Farid De La Ossa is called Jesus Redeeming Creation this is what he says about his painting:
"Jesus is on the Cross but will resurrect through the power of God's light. Jesus' body is presented as a compound of triangles (symbols of the Trinity). The Cross is connected to the Earth, the Universe and to Nature itself, showing the inter-connection that there is between the cross and all Creation. These elements are included in the main circle of this mandala held by a hand of a person which symbolizing the Eucharist which is given to the people. The host is eradiating grace (represented as light rays) to all Creation - a symbol of God's presence in the Eucharistic Consecration."
This next image has a wonderful story behind it....
"God may be seen behind simplicity and innocence. I would like to relate an experience that was a motivating event for this art-piece: At the beginning of my ministry I was coming back to where my community house by bus. I took a seat opposite an African-American woman with her 6-year old daughter. During the trip, I noticed that the little girl made the sign of the cross, put her hands together and started to pray with her eyes closed. She seemed to concentrate on prayer and did not seem to care what people in the bus were going to think. Indeed, the bus was full but I could also see that nobody noticed the praying child. However, it was a very touching moment for me and the event was so meaningful to me that I decided to do this painting. The large circle encloses a child who is depicted in a kind of cave and who is enthralled and surprised by seeing the effect of light and drops of water coming down from above. This painting depicts our reaction to God's revelation through Nature. The center scene is surrounded by autumn leaves which represents the beauty and the mystery of the changing seasons."
