Credi in te Stesso - Open Edition

from $150.00

Credi in te Stesso is Italian for “Believe in Yourself”. I want you to believe in yourself, knowing you can get through this temporary life-trial, however the outcome. Those grays of life are capable of alchemizing into bits of gold. God has big plans for you and they don’t involve shrinking or dimming your light to fit inside of someone else’s own limiting beliefs of you.

The original piece was created with a variety of mediums. The background is a mixture of Golden and Blick acrylics with texturing medium. The statue portrait was done in Gamblin oils. Lastly, gold leafing was applied before varnishing. The words “Credi in te Stesso” are scribed along the one side of the painting while the Roman numeral 13, a lucky number in Italian, is on the other.

2023 was an incredibly challenging year for me as I trod my way through a very contentious divorce. There were many stretches during that time where I felt absolutely heartbroken, scared, overwhelmed and in utter despair. Those were the times I learned most how to breathe, lean into God and do my best to let Him take care of the battle. The choices of others aren’t God’s doing, but rather the free will of the individual. I leaned on God, like a marble rock of a statue, for steadfast strength. I resolved to not let a man, hell-bent on destroying me for “disobeying” his will, steal my power and joy.
