The Creator | Fine Art Print

From my studio to your home, these prints are a testament to the beauty and depth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Utilizing the highest quality Giclee printing process with acid-free archival inks on museum-grade fine art paper, these prints capture the essence of each painting with stunning clarity and color depth. I handmake and sign each piece, reflecting my commitment to bring you timeless and affordable Christ-centered art.

In 'The Creator,' I wanted to explore something truly cosmic and divine. I've painted an awe-inspiring moment where Jesus—the Word—sets the universe into motion. The celestial swirls of color and light represent the raw materials of creation, all orchestrated by His omnipotent hands.

The Gospel message here is profoundly simple yet infinitely deep: 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him, all things were made; without Him, nothing was made that has been made' (John 1:1-3). Jesus is not just a moment in time; He is the author of time itself. He is not confined by our limitations; He is the very essence of life and light.

Owning this piece is an invitation to ponder the majestic greatness of Jesus as our Creator. Let it serve as a daily reminder that the One who set the stars in the sky and crafted the corners of the cosmos is also intimately involved in your life, eager to bring His creation to its fullest potential—starting with you.

Please Note

• Art prints ship unframed.
  
  
• Expect a slight variation in color depending on your device's display settings.
  
  
• Depending on the size you buy, cropping may occur. I take care to create the best cropping for your selected size.
  
  
• Each art print is listed by sheet size with a half inch margin around the artwork. For example, when you select a 5x7 print, the art itself is sized at 4x6, surrounded by a half-inch margin. This design ensures that when you frame your new artwork, every detail of the piece is visible and showcased.
  
  

Print Details

• Printing Process: Each art print is created using a state-of-the-art Giclee printing technique, which offers one of the highest degrees of accuracy and richness of color available in printmaking techniques. This process ensures a reproduction that is virtually indistinguishable from the original artwork.
  
  
• Ink and Paper Quality: I use acid-free archival inks and museum-grade fine art paper to guarantee that each print meets the highest standards of quality and remains fade-resistant for up to 100 years under proper care.
  
  
• Sizes Available: Prints are available in several sizes to perfectly fit your space - 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20 inches. Each size is carefully chosen to maintain the integrity and proportions of the original artwork.
  
  
• Handmade and Signed: Every print is handmade and personally signed in the margin by me.
  
  
• Packaging: To ensure that your print arrives in pristine condition, I package it securely with the utmost care. I use protective sleeves and rigid mailers for smaller prints, and robust tubes or boxes for larger sizes, all designed to protect your artwork during transit.
  
  
• Shipping: I provide tracking information for each shipment so you can follow your art's journey to its new home. 
  
  

Care Instructions for Your Art Print

To ensure that your art print remains a vibrant and inspiring part of your space for years to come, please follow these care instructions:

• Display Away from Direct Sunlight: To preserve the colors and prevent fading, position your print away from direct sunlight. Even though the archival inks are designed to be long-lasting, sunlight can accelerate the aging process.
  
  
• Use Proper Framing: Protect your print by framing it behind UV-protective glass or acrylic. This not only adds an extra layer of protection against sunlight but also enhances the display of your artwork. Note: I prepare hand embellished prints using a special protective sealer so that you can display the print without glass, just like an original painting.
  
  
• Handle with Care: When handling your print, consider using clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. The natural oils from skin can affect the paper and inks over time.
  
  
• Avoid Humidity: Try to hang your print in an environment with stable and moderate humidity. Excessive moisture can lead to paper warping or ink degradation.
  
  
• Dust Gently: To clean the surface of your print or its protective glass, use a soft, dry, and lint-free cloth. Gently wipe away dust without applying pressure, which could scratch the surface.

By following these care instructions, you can enjoy the beauty and inspiration of your divine art print for many generations. Thank you for inviting this sacred piece into your home.

Embellished Print Option

For those seeking an even more personalized and tactile experience with their chosen art piece, I offer an exclusive embellished print option. This optional process allows you to enhance your fine art print with hand-applied details that elevate the artwork to a new level of depth and vibrancy.

What is an Embellished Print? Each embellished print is carefully hand-finished by me, the artist, using high-quality acrylic paints and gel medium. This process involves adding textured brushstrokes and highlights to the print, meticulously following the contours and color variations of the original painting. The result is a unique piece that bridges the gap between a standard print and an original painting, offering a textural and visual richness that elevates the original artwork.

Why Choose an Embellished Print?

• Enhanced Texture and Depth: The added brushstrokes and textures bring a dynamic, three-dimensional quality to the print, making the art come alive on your walls.
  
  
• Unique Artistry: With each embellishment, your print becomes a one-of-a-kind work of art, imbued with a personal touch and creative vision.
  
  
• Increased Value: Embellished prints hold greater value due to their enhanced uniqueness and the additional artist's labor involved in creating them.

How to Add the Embellished Print Option: When purchasing your print, simply select the "Hand Embellished" option on the product page before adding the print to your cart. Please note that this process requires additional creation time, ensuring that each embellishment meets the highest standards of quality and beauty.
 

The Story Behind the Art

My name is Chris Brazelton, and The Painted Gospel is a ministry to share my original Christ-centered art. Every painting begins in a place of reflection and prayer, where I seek guidance and draw inspiration from the scriptures. Each painting is rooted in a specific Biblical story or passage, and made to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. You'll find these stories detailed in the descriptions of each painting, inviting you to explore and connect with the deeper messages they convey. I hope that each piece shines as a beacon in any space to strengthen the faith of your family, friends, visitors, small group, or congregation. These pieces also make perfect gifts for loved ones on any occasion.
