FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mother & daughter share "King of the Universe" paintings

UNITED STATES - Another Banksy?  No, not really.  But an anonymous veteran mother and a young daughter are also making a statement through their modern art pieces to include the main piece, "Christ our Hope, the King of the Universe."  Other pieces feature the solo work of the young daughter are also available on their website.  The current owners are sharing the artwork with the general public.  Any proceeds from the painting's original and copies will benefit children, feeding the hungry, and related facility costs.

The art remembers the annual Christ the King of the Universe Feast Day.  This Feast Day and Solemnity is celebrated annually by Roman Catholics and other Christian groups at the end of November, prior to the start of the Advent Season.  The project also aims to draw attention to the hope and process of healing or reconciliation with God through Christ, and preparation for the coming Great Anniversary years of 2033 to 2036, or 2000 years since his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension.  

The art project also offers two titles for each painting, inspired by the artists' ethnic background and tradition of short and long names.  The short version of the title is, "Christ our Hope, The King of the Universe."  The long version is titled, "Christ our Hope and King of the Universe, the One who leads and calls us to prayer, penance, worship, and the love of God."

Much of the artists' interests and influences behind the art include their background, experiences, and personal collection of some modern Christian art, Roman Catholic fine art, Eastern Catholic and Orthodox-Christian iconography.  This piece and other works were completed by the mother and daughter during the pandemic lockdowns.  More information about the art piece's meanings, printing requests, and special orders can be found at www.crystalinrevelacion.com.
