Alpha Omega

Mixed Collage

Alpha Omega (Gr. "το 'Αλφα και το Ω), translated into Greek, means A to Z. Numerous people relate this to “the first and the last” or “the beginning and the end.” These few but powerful words are known to be appellation of God in the Bible book of Revelations. We gave this title to the project because we view it as the birth of a new concept. We were the first to discover and create this kind of concept in hopes that we were able to convey the mood and ideas of this theme. However, what ultimately unifies this project it is the representation of the life and times of Jesus Christ in our painting with modern and conceptual art.
Tomorrow is actually going to be the day when the Mural is going to be hanging on the walls of SFC. The theme of the Mural is based on a Christian Art. 18 Students each created a piece by using musical notes, biblical verses to create a unified collage icon. They also have their individual designs and styles incorporated into their art. All the pieces are then arranged together in a form of a large cross in a triptych format.

The Mural will be hung May 16th at SFC High School entrance

The show for their remaining art pieces the students created will be displayed in my studio on May 24th beginning at 5:30 P.M

  1. Eyob,

    The mural is everything and more than I had hoped for! It is absolutely beautiful! This project has been an amazing journey for my students, and for me as well. You gave my students an opportunity to experience art like never before. I know that in the beginning they were so uncomfortable with the freedom that you gave them. They have come away from this project with a whole new perception of art and the joy of creating! Thank you for what you did for these young artists! I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to work with you.
