The Bleeding Roses
Unlike many of renaissance paintings of Crucifixion, I chose to paint the body of Christ (the Church) as roses. I painted Roses in rainbow colours as persecution of Christians cut across every race. St Paul’s Cathedral among the buildings in the background is most noticeably Christian building in London the city where the painting was made. Pope Francis was included in the painting as the head of the persecuted church. In the foreground right side of the painting is an African King representing part of Africa where Christians are being persecuted. On the left side are an Indonesian woman and a Syrian woman praying for freedom of worship for Christians in their countries.
This painting was done in oil paints. I love working with oil because it does not dry quickly and makes it easy for me to amend any error in the painting. I first sketched the image of the Christ on the cross on paper. I drew Christ head, hands and feet as roses; I drew rose stems and woven them together to form the human shape on the cross.

Beautiful and good work - I come from the Holy Land - I love my Christian and jesiden minorities. They are my brothers and sisters. I testify about what Islam is doing - Death's death began in Afghanistan with the Americans. Since then, the US has been accompanying the evil Islamists, even refusing to recognize them as harmful in Aleppo. Aleppo could be free without them.
