Man of Suffering: Isaiah 53:3 11"x14" Acrylic on wood panel

Isaiah 53:3 (NIV)

“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.”

“Man of Suffering Isaiah 53:3” is a powerful acrylic portrait that captures the raw, unfiltered emotion of sacrificial love. Painted in deep, moody tones of charcoal, ivory, and muted gold, the piece centers on the anguished face of Christ crowned with thorns. His upward gaze—caught between agony and surrender—creates an immediate and intimate connection with the viewer.

The loose, painterly brushwork gives the portrait a mist-like atmosphere, allowing the figure to emerge from the darkness as though rising from the very depths of human suffering. Light subtly crowns the head, adding an ethereal glow that symbolizes hope piercing through despair.

This work is not only a painting, but an experience. It invites quiet reflection, reverence, and awe. It stands as a statement piece for collectors drawn to spiritual, emotional, or expressive art—perfect for sacred spaces, homes, chapels, or any setting where contemplation is welcomed.

If you’re looking for a painting that speaks deeply, stirs the heart, and holds presence from across the room, “Man of Suffering” is an unforgettable addition to any collection.
