The artwork, titled “The Kindlement of Derrick Taylor,” was created by David Young in 2023. This digital painting belongs to the genres of religious painting and portraiture, emerging from the art movements of Magic Realism and Contemporary Realism.
The artwork portrays a young boy, adorned with a halo, symbolizing innocence and sanctity. He is dressed in a checkered coat and stands in what seems to be a dimly lit, reverently decorated interior. The boy is depicted with a gentle smile, extending his finger towards a framed image of Jesus Christ illuminated by the soft glow of candles. The sacred ambiance is heightened by the rich, deep hues and tender lighting, emphasizing both the mystical and realistic aspects of the scene. This painting beautifully intertwines the realms of the divine with the mundane, capturing a moment of profound spiritual connection.
