Description

Born for such a time as this (Esther Series No 1) is a captivating oil painting that draws viewers into a vibrant world filled with colour, texture, and emotion. Measuring 60 x 40 cm, this piece features a striking black steel round clock set against a background of colourful circles, evoking a sense of imagination and wonder.

Inspired by the powerful verse from Esther 4:14, “Born for such a time as this,” this artwork embodies the essence of purpose and courage.

The clock, with its sleek design, serves as a visual reminder of the passage of time and the importance of seizing the moments that define our lives. The rich, swirling colours of the background create a dynamic interplay that symbolizes the myriad possibilities and adventures that await us.

Through this painting, I aim to convey a spirit of empowerment and resilience, encouraging reflection on individual purpose and the courage to embrace one’s unique journey. Born for Such a Time as This, serves as both a celebration and a call to action, inspiring viewers to recognize their inherent strength and the vital role they play in the world.
