Born Again #1 (2023)Mixed-media painting by Gina Valenti-Lazarchik

This mixed media abstract is painted on an oval canvas, which is egg-shaped, to better express the marvelous Christian reality that, not only does Jesus share His healing love and miraculous grace with believers, but He also transforms us from the inside out, so that we are spiritually "born again", a concept which Jesus explained to Nicodemus, as recorded in the Gospel of John 3, an excerpt of which has been collaged onto the surface of this painting, along with passages from Ezekiel 26 and Ephesians 2, from both the Old and the New Testaments. When we receive Jesus as Lord of our lives, we are given a new heart, which glorifies, trusts, obeys and serves God, rather than ourselves, freeing us from sinful inclinations. The main motif of this painting is the circle, which fittingly suggests eternity, and the warm and cool palette suggests earth and sky, since humans are body and soul creations. The painting has been given a satin varnish for protection, and hanging hardware is already installed.
