The theme I am proudly presenting is "Christ's Unknown Life" which is not referred to in the Holy Bible. The idea struck me in October 2000 as a divine calling. My next step was to complete the "unknown Face" and the Divine Expressions of the Christ in his teenage.
By the inspiration from that Holy Thought I felt that I must finish the unique painting as early as possible. My ambition fulfilled on 10th January 2001. The picture was officially released on 17th January 2001, with a Divine Touch.
To be frank, a celestial bliss was forcing me to complete the picture, while I am working with the holy idea ; I was totally immersed in the mind of Christ. I thought at that moment I was very near to my God, even now. My mind is filled with the spiritual love of Christ.
After completing the painting, I found that some miracle is truly happening in me. For example my chronic back pain is cured. That wonderful experience is now leading me to the sanctum sanctorum of my god.
Now I would like to say one more thing. This is strictly a novel feeling. I strongly believe this is the one and only one painting of Jesus Christ Adolescence.
In the Holy Bible we can see Jesus Christ at the age of twleve, just before his secret life.
That sacred unknown period was my inspiration. The wonderful feelings about that unknown period encouraged me to give a new face of Christ. With the humble work of art I made it. My Ambition is to send this original painting to His Holiness John Paul 11.
