Magnificat (section) by Deborah Last
I want to paint because it is something I have always done; it is a natural part of my life. I love to paint all kinds of things but am most pleased perhaps when there is a synergy between my art and faith. I love to tell stories in the work that I produce and enjoy them most when they are perhaps a little bit ambiguous. I love to be involved with strong drawing and strong light; for me everything is about the light.
Magnificat by Deborah Last
Mary realises she is the mother of God and declares the power of this knowledge as she is meeting with her cousin Elisabeth.
The Magnificat is a wonderful declaration of faith and trust and I imagined Mary caught up in the moment of realisation and wonderment. A young girl, no older than 16, perhaps 14 chosen to take on such a daunting and amazing role.
