Title: St. Kateri Tekakwitha
Medium: Oil paint on canvas
Size of Original: 16” x 20” x 3/4” (41cm x 51cm x 2cm)
Date: 2025

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha is a 16" x 20" oil painting on stretched canvas by Kevin Pawlowski of Paradise Found Studio. Painted in a contemporary realism style, the work combines lifelike detail with expressive, painterly brushstrokes that add movement and emotion. Saint Kateri is depicted humbly seated on the ground, surrounded by a tangle of thorns and delicate white lilies—a symbolic contrast between suffering and purity. “Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens.” (Song of Solomon 2:2) She gently raises a crucifix in one hand while modestly shielding part of her face with her head scarf, capturing her quiet devotion and humility (and covering her small pox scars).

The background offers a serene landscape of upper New York, with slender birch trees, soft rolling mountains, and a gentle, diffused light that frames the figure with an almost sacred glow. The natural setting evokes Kateri’s deep connection to the land and her Indigenous heritage. Rich in symbolism and spiritual reverence, this painting offers a contemplative portrayal of the first Native American saint, honoring both her faith and cultural identity.

Painted on a stretched 16″ × 20″ canvas, Carlo is depicted at his computer, deeply absorbed in building a website that celebrates Eucharistic miracles.

Behind Carlo is a collage of screenshots blended with snippets of Carlo’s HTML and JavaScript code. These elements symbolize his early mastery of technology and his innovative use of the internet for evangelization. Pawlowski’s heavier brushwork on his hands and body contrast with the refined treatment of Carlo’s face, providing a dynamic visual tension that celebrates both realism and artistic interpretation. The result is a deeply moving tribute that marries faith, youth, and digital culture.
