Knocking on Heaven's Door.

“Knocking on Heaven’s Door”
Mixed Media & Acrylic
40cm  x 80cm

This bold pop art painting offers
 a striking reinterpretation 
of a biblical scene, depicting
 Jesus Christ and the Twelve 
Apostles in vibrant orange
 astronaut suits as they ascend
 to heaven. The contrast 
of celestial themes with 
space exploration creates a 
captivating visual narrative,
 blending the sacred and the 
surreal. Some apostles
 are crucified to crosses, 
while others hold them,
 symbolizing sacrifice and 
faith amidst their journey. 
Flanking the scene, angels 
cheer them on, adding a 
sense of divine encouragement. 
In the lower left corner, 
Mary Magdalene prepares to 
follow, embodying
hope and devotion. 
The vivid colours and dynamic 
composition invite viewers 
to reflect on themes of ascension, 
faith, and the human experience 
in a contemporary context, making 
this piece both thought-provoking 
and visually engaging.
