About Our Art

Faith and Verse is shaped by prayer, study, and artistic discipline. We do not aim to reconstruct history, but to bear witness—with spiritual credibility and sacred focus.
We avoid fantasy and sentimentality, and seek instead a style of sacred realism rooted in Christian tradition.

Where historical accuracy is possible, we honour it. Where Christian symbolism offers enduring forms, we use them with discernment. Every artistic decision is made in light of silence, Scripture, and reverence.

The painters of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque eras placed saints in the settings and garments of their own time. They did this not from neglect, but from devotion: they served the mystery with the means and knowledge they had. Their task was to make the holy visible using the world familiar to them. With the historical resources available today, it is reasonable to think the old masters would have welcomed them, for they themselves studied ruins, coins, and whatever traces the past had left to paint with fidelity.

Sacred art in our age sometimes continues those visual habits simply because they feel familiar. Yet familiarity alone does not reveal the world in which the saints themselves walked. When we depict a 9th-century saint, or a young girl from the 9th century BC, or a figure of the early Church, we try to let them stand in their own world
—not in a later century’s devotional imagination. Not as an attempt to correct the old masters, but as a continuation of their intention—to serve the truth with what we have been given.

They walked among ruins, coins, relics, and the memory of their forebears.
We walk among archives, scholarship, and centuries of sacred study.

To set all this aside would feel, to us,
like a quiet betrayal of the very impulse they lived by.

Our work is not modern religious art.

It is a return to the sacred—in form, in tone, and in heart.
