“In Honour of our Martyrs” Mixed Mediums

Mixed mediums on canvas measuring 101x76 cm’, painted by Rana. Location Montreal, Qc.

In Rana's words: "Over the past two years, the fate of Palestinians has become catastrophic -- first in Gaza and now in the West Bank. Through these dark times, I have seen CFOS’s Board members double and triple their efforts in supporting churches and church-related organizations to peacefully but purposefully fight for my cause and for humanity. They do this work as volunteers offering countless hours of their time. To honour their strength and show my appreciation for all the incredible achievements that CFOS has done and is still doing, I offered two larger paintings to “Art as Resilience: A Silent Auction for Palestine.”

This one, entitled “In Honour of our Martyrs” depicts an angel with open arms ready to receive and love the thousands of lives lost for lack of love and care.  This painting gives me comfort for I know that these innocent souls have a place in heaven. It also colours my tears with hope, knowing that there are many angels on this earth who are crying out and working hard for justice.

These art pieces are meant to encourage folks just like you to keep humanity alive. You may want to bid on them as a team for your local church or bid on them for an office. Or perhaps you feel inspired to commission a more personalized piece. However you choose to participate in this auction, know that you are encouraging artists to use their talents for a humanitarian cause, and you are supporting CFOS in the amazing work it has been doing for over 25 years.
