God With Us (Hand Embellishment Canvas Print)

Hand-Embellished Canvas Prints

The canvas is hand-embellished by Vanessa Horabuena herself using the highest of quality, richly pigmented acrylic paints. A specialized texture medium is added to enhance depth, creating dimensional highlights that catch light and bring areas of the painting to life. Vanessa’s original signature is applied directly to the canvas, replacing the printed one for an authentic finish.

Each piece is printed in-house using 12 archival pigment inks, then carefully hand-stretched onto custom, high-end 1 1/2" gallery depth poplar wood bars… crafted and assembled right here in our Tempe, Arizona studio. To protect and preserve the work, each embellished canvas is sealed with a professional-grade UV-protectant varnish, applied by a trained technician. This final touch ensures lasting brilliance and protection from fading, dust, and humidity. 

The finished piece is a one of a kind with a resemblance to an original painting. The product will be shipped out with a certificate of authenticity. 

Prophetic Meaning

This piece captures the profound essence of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In this close-up depiction, we are drawn into the serene and humble setting of the manger where the infant Jesus lies.

It portrays the duality of Christ's divine nature and His earthly humility. As the "God With Us," He entered this world not in grandeur or majesty, but in the simplicity of a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes. The innocence and vulnerability of the newborn Jesus reflect His divine mission to be Emmanuel, God with us, bringing His presence into the world.

In this close-up view, we can almost feel the warmth and tenderness that emanates from the scene. The soft glow of the surrounding light illuminates the child's face, emphasizing the significance of His arrival. It captures the purity and holiness of the moment, as angels herald His birth, shepherds bow in awe, and wise men bring gifts of worship.

This piece reminds us of the profound impact that this tiny, yet divine, baby was prophetically destined to have on the world. He is the embodiment of hope, love, and the very presence of God. His birth marks the beginning of a transformative journey that would lead to the ultimate sacrifice on the cross, making Him the "God With Us" for all who believe in Him. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the extraordinary love God has for humanity and the eternal legacy of His presence that Jesus brings to those who embrace Him as their Savior and Lord.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." — Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
