I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
— John 8:12

A single oil lamp glowing on a stone ledge in a darkened ancient room — inspired by John 8:12.

Rendered in the tradition of Baroque Religious Art. Drawing on the influence of Caravaggio, Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt and Diego Velazquez, the piece blends recognisable visual cues with a contemporary devotional execution. The lighting is characterised by single warm lamp flame illuminating worn stone and deep surrounding shadow, lending the work its distinctive atmosphere. The overall mood is contemplative, hopeful and sacred. Additional details include soft halo of light, ancient parchment beside lamp and fine dust motes.
