In the Arms of Love (Hand Embellished 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

Every life is created by the Lord... each little body knit together in their mother’s womb. The Lord, who has made each of us in His image, has also created a special destiny for every precious soul. Frail and innocent, He holds them... wrapped in His heart, He comforts them. For they are His little ones, and He watches over them, knowing every hair on their head, every abstract thought, and each new experience.

Before any ultrasound revealed the details of a little baby, God was already at work...shaping their likeness to Himself, already knowing each precious emotion as it flooded forth for the first time. Every detail is documented and stored in the storehouse of His heart, never to be forgotten.

Often, we think we came into this world because of choices our parents made. But the truth is, our spirit and our soul come from the Lord, and it is He who chooses and gives us forth to our parents. Likewise, we often believe our children belong to us, but in fact, it is not so. Each one belongs to the Father of all Creation, the Giver of all life. From God they came, and to God they shall return.

Before any parent held their child, their child was already cradled in the heart of our Savior... He who created them, He who knew every detail of their life, held them first, in the depths of His heart. And it is in the secret place of His heart that they are safely cradled by the One who gave them life.

This we can be sure of: the little ones who came from Him are securely held in the embrace of the Father. He is with them at all times... His presence never leaves them, His bountiful love never fails. And while this earth may bring suffering... and yes, even loss... it is not from God that these things come. When He receives a little one, He does so as an awaiting Father, eager to make all things new and to reveal the wonders of Heaven... wonders far beyond anything this earth could ever offer.

He is a good Father, and His embrace is eternal.
