Follow the sound of my voice

This deeply moving acrylic painting,

"Follow the sound of My voice"

by Maria Oosthuizen, alongside her earlier works such as "Unfailing Love," offers a profound spiritual dialogue within her evolving oeuvre. Both pieces resonate with a powerful, intimate connection between the divine and the human, showcasing Maria's unparalleled ability to convey spiritual solace and guidance.

In "Follow the Sound of My voice," we witness a tender moment of invitation and reassurance. A figure, undoubtedly Jesus, extends a hand downwards, a gesture of profound grace and offering. Below, a woman, her long hair again flowing dynamically, reaches upwards, her bare feet suggesting vulnerability and humility. The etched words "I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU" serve as a direct, personal promise, a bedrock of faith rendered tangible on the canvas. The earthy tones and textured background create a timeless, sacred space, emphasizing the spiritual journey of seeking and finding divine purpose.

When viewed alongside "Unfailing Love," which portrays an embrace of deep consolation between Jesus and a figure often identified as Mary Magdalene, Maria's mastery of conveying spiritual purpose becomes even more evident. While "Unfailing Love" captures the intensity of present comfort and forgiveness, "Follow the Sound of mMy voice" speaks to the ongoing, active nature of faith—the call to trust, to reach out, to follow divine guidance and not into despair. Both paintings are expressions of the profound spiritual narrative of surrender, acceptance, and the unwavering presence of divine care. They represent the core of Maria Oosthuizen's spiritual artistry, inviting viewers into a contemplative space where faith is made visible and deeply felt.
