22" x 28" | Oil on Canvas | One-of-a-Kind Original
Step into one of the most tender and mysterious moments in Christian history. "Hold Me Not" reimagines the intimate encounter between Jesus and Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb — a moment layered with emotion, reverence, and quiet wonder.
In this original oil painting, I sought to dissolve the distance often portrayed between them, inviting you to consider the possibility that their bond may have been deeper, more personal — perhaps even that of husband and wife. Their expressions and body language whisper of love, longing, and a shared understanding that transcends what words or tradition often reveal.
The warm, textured brushstrokes and muted tones evoke both the stillness of the tomb and the electric charge of resurrection — where grief collides with hope, and the boundaries of mortality are broken.
Whether you view this piece as a bold theological question or simply a visual exploration of human connection and divine love, "Hold Me Not" invites reflection, reverence, and perhaps… curiosity.
