Description: Size 4' x 5' Painted on canvas Medium acrylic painted 1995 In this illustration i am trying to portray how active the spiritual world is in every day of our lives. How heaven and hell, these two kingdoms are battling it out to win our devotion. Even when A person chooses to become part of God's family, the believer will still have to struggle with the forces of darkness as long as we live in these mortal bodies. The room is suppose to look like it's on fire. This is to represent the destiny of man, spending eternity in the lake of fire, if he refuses to be saved through God plan of salvation. the two people in this paint are the two leader of the two kingdoms. The Devil on the left, Jesus on the right. They are both standing at the door way that will lead to their kingdoms. They are both beckoning the viewer to go through their door. In this painting I want the viewer to understand that spiritual battle take place with every decision we face. When we come to a spit in the road our we going to choose the right road or the wrong road? What ever road you Choose will sooner or later reap the reward. The reward will either be destruction or blessing, the blessed think is we choose I illustrated the devil in a beautiful purple robe with gold sequence , To show He is the king of the fallen angels. Purple in the Bible was worn by king and governors and ruling authorities. The purple hood is to show that Satan is a deceiver. He will take truth and twisted into a lie , kind of the way a person will put poison mix in peanut butter to get rid of an unwanted mouse. Most people don't recognize when the Devil is temping them, because the only view of Him they have is the movie the exorcist. But He is more effective when He appears in the form of a used car salesmen. The gold belt He wears and the golden door way represent His tactics to side tract us with the love of temporal thing such as the love of money , fame, power. If a person gain the whole world yet loose his soul what has he truly gained. Illustrated Jesus dressed in a golden Robe with a golden sash. This represent He is the High priest who offered the sacrifice that appeased the requirement to deliver man from the power of sin, and restore man back to fellowship with God The Father. The door way to heaven is made up of the cross that Jesus gave His life on. If you look at the painting closely you will see holes in Jesus hands and feet. You also can seen on the cross from the blood and the spike marks where Jesus was nailed to the cross. The devils door has endless darkness of Hell , where Jesus' door has endless light of heaven. The rocking chair was designer to represent contemplation. Their are hearts with question marks in side them on the head rest as well the seat. I think of people sitting in their rocking chair when they have a big decision to make. So i think before we make decision, we should thing what will be the fruit down the road. If I plant thistle when it grows up it will hurt me . If i plant wheat, when it grows up it will feed me.

ART COME Alive: Stephen J. Vattimo Added by Danny Huffman on March 13, 2013. Saved under Huffman, Local Arts, Local Culture Plus, Local People Tags: art, Artist's Square, painting, racquel cruz, Vattimo Stephen J. Vattimo was born, raised and lived in the Philadelphia area most of his life. As a creative spiritual person, he is involved with creating works in fine art, poetry, short-humorous stories and articles on socialism, politics, and spirituality. He considers his work living-art because it is communicative in many ways and has a direct message with each creation. Through his works, the viewer gets to know who he really is. Metaphorically speaking, Stephen wears his heart on his sleeve. Stephens work is inspired by his love for God, family, and his country. Held by the belief that: We honor these things by conducting ourselves with nobility and morals, Stephen's vulnerability and passion is shared in all his work. Bound by these values, he believes we will have a prosperous society and an abundant life. Ultimately, that our nation will be blessed with not only materialistic richness, but also the riches of love and family that God has given to us. What is Stephen's style of art? Most of his work has been described as being folk, primitive, surreal and illustrative. His medium varies as he works with acrylics, pen, and ink. His preferred medium is with acrylics as it offers a wider opportunity to create multiple textures and effects. Adding to that, the medium because it dries fast, is non- toxic, and cleaning it up with water makes it fast and easy. Stevefinal Before Stephen creates his artwork on canvas he sketches the design, carefully planning each object he is going to incorporate in his paintings using a sketch pad. He does extensive research before even beginning to transfer vision onto canvas. It is not uncommon for him to repeat his research as not to miss the details he is carefully trying to convey. To bring his message home, he often introduces symbolism within his work. gently guiding the reader while allowing multiple interpretations without constraint. Stephen has original work in colleges, community centers, and coffee shops. He is also an essential figure within Internet publishing in art, writing, and poetry communities. He hopes that his art can be a blessing to his viewers and an honor to God.
