Portrait Artist's Fascinating Decision About How To Paint Jesus After 'Encounter With Christianity'
An artist who converted to Christianity and allows faith to infuse his work has a powerful story to share — and Christian Post reporter Leonardo Blair joins "The Inside Story" to break it all down.
Blair recently visited with Zimou Tan, a portrait artist, to learn about his inspiration as well as his decision not to show Jesus' faith in his religious-themed works.
"It's kind of ironic in the way that I painted Jesus because I never painted Jesus with a straight on portrait," Tan told Blair. "A lot of times I either put Him under shade, under the shadow or thinking really small, the face is not clear enough. I'm a portrait specialist. Portrait is my specialty, but I do not have that courage. I don't think that I have that right to narrow down how Jesus looked like."
Listen to Blair tell the powerful story.
