"Let the Earth Speaks" captures the awe-inspiring mountain ranges of Hokkaido, Japan, and the reflective calm of its five lakes, inviting the viewer into a sacred, silent dialogue. The painting challenges us to listen to the earth as a testament to the Creator's enduring grace. The towering peaks and serene waters stand as a physical manifestation of a profound, timeless wisdom—a sermon preached not with words, but with stone and light. The artwork’s dramatic use of colour mirrors the journey of faith. Bright, saturated colours illuminate the mountain tops, a vivid portrayal of divine presence, hope, and the sudden clarity that breaks through during moments of spiritual awakening. These brilliant hues are juxtaposed with deep, dark shadows pooling in the valleys and crevices. These recesses might represent the wilderness, the "dark night of the soul," or the hidden struggles where faith is tested, yet where profound growth often occurs. The very title, "Let the Earth Speaks," echoes the Psalmist's declaration that "The heavens declare the glory of God." What is the profound message the Creator has woven into this grand design? Does the vibrant light signify the omnipresent love and hope promised to all, while the shadows remind us that even in pain and brokenness, we are held and seen? This piece is an invitation to quiet the internal noise and hear the deep, resonant truth that nature, whispers loudly about its Maker.
