Hands and Feet

Original Oil Painting | 48 × 60 Inches

A portrait of sacrifice. A reminder of redemption. A love that held nothing back.

Hands and Feet is a powerful, emotionally charged oil painting that confronts the viewer with the physical suffering of Jesus Christ and the immeasurable cost of our redemption. Set against a stark black background, expressive strokes of white, gray, and crimson bring the scene into sharp focus. A hand grips the nail, the wounded hands bear the marks of suffering, and the crown of thorns presses into the brow of Christ. Every element draws attention to the sacrifice at the heart of the Christian faith.

The dramatic contrast and raw, contemporary brushwork give this painting an unflinching intensity. Black creates a sense of solemnity, white emphasizes the vulnerability of the figure, and red serves as a visceral reminder of the blood shed on the cross. Rather than presenting the Crucifixion as a distant historical event, Hands and Feet invites the viewer to consider its personal and eternal significance.

Inspired by the Gospel accounts of Christ’s Passion, this work points to the hands and feet pierced for humanity’s sake—the physical reality of His suffering and the extraordinary love expressed through His sacrifice. The painting invites reflection on grace, the price of redemption, and the hope found in Christ’s finished work.

Measuring an impressive 4 feet high by 5 feet wide, Hands and Feet commands attention as a substantial statement piece. Its bold composition is particularly suited to church interiors, contemporary worship spaces, pastoral offices, private studies, and collectors’ homes where faith and fine art meet. Both visually arresting and spiritually contemplative, it offers an opportunity to engage with the central message of Christianity through the language of contemporary fine art.
