"The Farewell That Shines Beyond", acrylic on gesso board, Bishop Maxim, 2025
In this acrylic composition on gesso board, the Pope stands in radiant white robes, his face aglow with light, turned toward us in a final, tender wave. Painted just before his passing, the work now bears the aura of a prophetic goodbye—yet it is no farewell of sorrow. His expression shines with peace, promise, and an everlasting joy. The luminous palette, dominated by whites and golds, reflects not only his earthly dignity but the eternal light into which he has entered. A portrait of legacy—smiling, waving, enduring.
