About Emanuel Titus Marginean
His art focuses on the message of the artworks, not the messenger.
Art is set to be everlasting and sublime, to bring hope and love into ones life, as the artist often says ''When everything around you collapses, art still lets you win''.

About the Product
I have long been fascinated about the image of Christ depicted in the book of Revelation. I took it upon me to attempt to represent it as an actual image. All of the images that I have seen of this representation seemed to lack the holiness of Christ, so I tried to put light into perspective when it comes to the Son of God. The features of the face we're inspired by Christ's representation of the painter Heinrich Hofmann, considered by some to be the best depiction of Christ. I chose a classic byzantine position because the hieratic representation of classical byzantine paintings is considered as being one of the most dignified body positions in art.
For the other details I used elements from the following Bible verses:
"I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire." (Daniel 7:9)
"His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire." (Revelation 1:14)
