One example is this drawing of my niece taking a nap on the sofa, which later developed into an oil painting - "The True and The True" (now collected by Singapore Art Museum,praises be to God!)

what do you mean by the true and the true from this painting?

My work content is as below - The painting in the background shows a true past event in Bible, about Peter failing to walk on water due to faith waivered by surrounding storms; this is compared to the present true moment of unrest - the girl lying on a balloon float and uncomfortable, fragmented furniture, with one hand in basin of water that contains a toy boat losing its balance... Meanwhile, the dog acts as a threatening bad omen, while the elder (representing Father God) watches over the child. :)
I see !
If only I can get to see the real painting myself.
I have a question, if a person who does not know the bible story, how will he or she understand your painting?
just a question that I have been thinking. Because faith comes from hearing the word of God.

So we try to explain as much as we can, or the painting can be a starter to let the interested viewer find out more through various ways/channels... Note: very often, most paintings do need some amount of explanation text to help better appreciation. Thank you for your interest. :)
