À propos
Agapé is a Greek word used in the Christian context to describe selfless love, a love that is unconditional and sacrificial. It is the love that God has for humanity and the love that Christians are called to have for one another.
My journey with My Agapé Art began during one of the darkest periods in recent history - the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a time of great uncertainty and fear, as the world around us seemed to crumble. But in the midst of all that chaos and lockdown, I felt a stirring in my heart. And I kept hearing him say: “Paint for me.”
You see, I had put my artistic dreams on hold for over 20 years to raise my five incredible children. They are truly a blessing from God, and I wouldn't trade that time for anything. But deep down, I always wanted to get back into making art.
For months, I prayed and contemplated. I wasn't sure if I could even get started after all those years away from painting. But then, the desire inside of me was exploding and unexplainable. I had to say “Yes”. I surrendered everything to the Lord and offered up my hands to Him, amd allowed him to takeover.
And you know what happened? I started my first piece, and I haven't stopped creating since.
This is my 1st piece! :)
And so, this is how My Agapé Art is launched. Everything here is prophetically painted. Just like how we do it in our prophetic ministry, we receive a prophetic message for someone and we tell them. Here, I have taken a step further to receive the message from God and translate it visually through these paintings.
Every piece of work starts with worship and I will ask the Lord to reveal to me his message for the person or crowd that I need to deliver. And then I will get my vision, layer by layer, following the Lord’s instructions. I had to just learn to trust in the process. For he will reveal his wonders one step at a time. He will reveal the full message to me after I am done. So if you are watching me painting live. I am as surprised as you are when the piece is finished.
I am the brush and He is the Master Artist. Surrendering fully and allowing myself to be Spirit-filled and Spirit-Led. I am on a crazy ride with the Lord.
"Those who perceive in themselves this kind of divine spark which is the artistic vocation—as poet, writer, sculptor, architect, musician, actor and so on—feel at the same time the obligation not to waste this talent but to develop it, in order to put it at the service of their neighbor and of humanity as a whole." - St. Pope John Paul ll
At MY AGAPÉ ART, my mission is to translate the unconditional love of Christ through the form of Art to warm faithful hearts and to set cold ones on fire.
May these paintings be a source of inspiration, comfort, and hope to you and your loved ones. As you gaze upon them, may they speak to your heart and remind you of the unconditional love and grace of our Lord.
I'm grateful for your support, and I ask for your prayers as I continue to follow God's call to create and spread His message through my art.
With love and blessings,
