19.5 X 23 Oil on Canvas
"I fought a good fight, my run finished, kept the faith".
The drama of the life of Paul of Tarsus, the real Pharisee (name at the birth of Saul, who passed to Saul - because the Greeks did not pronounce the "sh" sound, but as a citizen of Rome - Paulus, which in Latin form means "little" or "lesser") was his transformation from a persecutor to one of the most devoted followers of Christianity. His facial features are clearly outlined, but at the same time seem a little blurred - the complexity of his character, internal conflict, the search for truth, and the journey from hate to love; deep knowledge of Scripture and Jewish tradition, resilience in suffering, and flexibility of mind. Died Paul as a true Jew - don't give up your words at the cost of life. His fuzzy mosaic image is a personal space that everyone compliments with their own perceptions and emotions.
