ABOUT THE ARTWORK
 
In the realm of art, every piece tells a story, and "In Search of Pearls" from my Kingdom of Heaven Collection is no exception. This artwork invites you to embark on a journey of discovery, wisdom, and the pursuit of what truly matters.
 
Inspired by Matthew 13:45-46, the piece captures the essence of a merchant on a quest for fine pearls—symbols of value and beauty. Just as the merchant sold everything to acquire that one precious pearl, we too are often faced with choices that challenge our priorities. What are we willing to give up in our search for meaning and fulfillment?
 
The artwork's monochrome palette, punctuated by vibrant blues, creates a striking contrast that draws the eye and evokes a sense of depth. The figure, with its wise and contemplative expression, embodies the search for enlightenment. The glowing orb in their hands symbolizes the light of wisdom, illuminating the path ahead. 
 
This is a limited edition fine art print of the original artwork which was created with acrylic paint on paper. This fine art print is hand-signed and numbered by Barbara Diniz and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). 
 
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
 
Kingdom of Heaven is a visual inquiry into transcendence, order, and divine presence. ​It investigates the idea of divine order as an organizing principle rather than a visual subject.
​
This collection will explore images and colors that attempt to translate permanence, authority, and transcendence. A visual inquiry into the ordered reality beyond the material world and yet accessible now.
