Transformation of Pain

16x20in oil on canvas

“Transformation of Pain” is a prophetic painting that tenderly explores the redemptive power of pain when surrendered to God. Inspired by the words of Ariel Wachtel—“Pain does not need to defeat you, instead you can let it transform you. Let your breaking become something beautiful.”—this piece speaks to those navigating sorrow, loss, or personal transformation with hope and courage.

This artwork depicts the sacred process of being reshaped by the hand of God through our most fragile moments. With textured layers, intentional cracks, and imagery of renewal, it reflects the truth that when we offer our brokenness to Him, He doesn’t discard it—He rebuilds it into something holy, radiant, and whole. Like the butterfly cannot fly without the struggle, let the pain transform you into who God created you to be in your fullness.
