About this artwork
"The Light Source" Acrylic on canvas, 45 × 55 cm, 2024
Artist: Dewei Zhao
In"The Light Source", Dewei Zhao captures a moment of spiritual stillness and illumination. An open Bible lies at the center, its pages layered in vivid strokes—deep purples, fiery reds, and bright blues—symbolizing the rich and complex journey of faith. Rising from its surface is a single candle, its flame steady, glowing against a backdrop of darkness.
This darkness is… not void, but expectant—a space awaiting revelation. The candle, modest in size but radiant, represents the Holy Spirit’s presence and the enduring light of God’s Word. As the Psalmist wrote, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
Using thick, expressive acrylics, Zhao transforms the Bible into a living landscape. Each color and contour invites viewers to reflect on their own spiritual path—its doubts, hopes, and moments of clarity.
