In Ministry of Reconciliation, Anne Reid Artist explores the profound theme of restoration through abstract expressionism. The composition is anchored by a cross—subtle yet undeniable—emerging from layers of turquoise, pink, and deep purple. The interplay of colour and texture suggests both conflict and healing, a visual representation of the process of reconciliation.
The left side of the painting swirls with movement, where deep purples and pinks seem to push and pull against each other. This energy contrasts with the calmer, more structured turquoise and gold on the right, reflecting a journey from chaos to peace. The presence of gold hints at divine intervention—grace woven into the fabric of human experience.
This artwork speaks to the unseen work of reconciliation, both spiritual and relational. It invites reflection on the fractures that require healing and the bridges that must be built. Whether viewed through the lens of faith or human connection, Ministry of Reconciliation captures the beauty of restoration in motion.
"And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God."
2 Corinthians 5:18, The Passion Translation
