Description:
Bathed in a golden blaze of sunset, Under God’s Light captures a sacred stillness at sea. A lone sailboat drifts across shimmering waters, silhouetted against a sky ablaze with warmth and wonder. The sun, perfectly centered above the mast, evokes a divine presence — as if guiding the vessel with an unseen hand.
Haitian artist Guesilhom masterfully blends vibrant orange and deep shadows to evoke both serenity and spiritual power. This painting is more than a seascape; it is a visual prayer — a reminder that even in solitude, we are never alone. Under God's Light speaks to faith, purpose, and the quiet strength found when we surrender to the light that leads us.
