Prince of Persia

Micheal and the Prince of Persia 

2024 144x48 acrylic on canvas

"Michael and the Prince of Persia" offers a window into the unseen, a realm where the spiritual and physical worlds converge. Inspired by Holy Scripture from the Book of Daniel, this triptych captures a moment of intense spiritual warfare, where the archangel Michael battles the Prince of Persia in the heavenly realm. The vibrant colors and dynamic forms evoke the celestial struggle, a clash of heavenly forces that remains hidden from our earthly view. This painting invites you to peer beyond the visible, to contemplate the cosmic battles that shape our reality, and to recognize the powerful interaction between the divine and the mortal. In this glimpse into the heavenly realm, we are reminded that what lies just beyond our perception is as real and as influential as the world we can perceive.

Daniel 10:12-14 Then he said, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer. But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia. Now I am here to explain what will happen to your people in the future, for this vision concerns a time yet to come.”
