"Rising Star," an exquisite oil painting by Kevin Pawlowski from Paradise Found Studio, captures the Holy Family in a deeply intimate and tender moment. The painting centers on Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, depicted with soft expressions that convey love and unity. Illuminated only by the radiant glow emanating from the Christ Child, the scene brings an almost ethereal focus to Jesus as the source of light, symbolizing his role and significance.

The contemporary realism style gives "Rising Star" a distinctive character, combining meticulous realism in the faces with expressive, painterly strokes throughout the rest of the canvas. This contrast keeps the attentions on the finely rendered features of each figure, rather than the more abstract, textured surroundings. The dark background contrasts with the spiritual light within the family, creating a powerful visual narrative that celebrates the sanctity and warmth of familial love.

The one-of-a-kind original or museum-quality giclée reproductions are available for purchase.

What Are Giclée Reproductions?

Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) reproductions are high-quality prints of original artwork created using a specialized inkjet printing process. The term "Giclée" comes from the French word gicler, meaning "to spray," referencing the method of precisely spraying archival inks onto fine art paper or canvas. This advanced printing technique ensures exceptional detail and vibrant color accuracy, capturing the texture and nuances of the original piece.

Once printed, the canvas is stretched over a "stretcher" frame, a wooden framework designed to hold the canvas taut and maintain its structural integrity.

At Paradise Found Studio, Giclée reproductions of Kevin Pawlowski's artwork allow you to enjoy museum-quality pieces at an accessible price. Each print embodies the essence of the original creation, making it a perfect choice for collectors and art enthusiasts alike.

“Nativity”, by Kevin Pawlowski, is a watercolor painting over an antique etching by Gustave Doré.

Gospel Passage About The Birth of Jesus Christ

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Luke 2:1-14 (NAB)
