In the Beginning
SYNOPSIS:
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
In The Beginning masterfully demonstrates the message of what God did in the first few pages of Scripture! No matter what theories or controversies arise, “God created the heavens and the earth.” He created man, the earth, and all the things in it solely for the purpose of worshipping Him. He deserves the glory and the honor for all the beauty and life that fills the earth. Take a close look at the painting – DiCianni uses brilliant imagery (the stars, the doves, the beauty of the landscape, etc.) to depict creation in a manner never seen before and reminds us that we were formed by the very fingers of a divine Creator.
ARTIST NOTE:
The Scripture says that there was a mist on the ground. I took the liberty of having night and day happen at the same time (I couldn’t resist the urge to let my imagination run wild at the possibilities!). In the Beginning has many elements for the viewer to consider. If you look closely at the stars, you will see little babies in them. That’s my personal comment that God knows the name of every person and child. Isaiah 40:26 reads, “Lift your eyes and look to the heavens; Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name.” Surely if He knows the stars by name, He would know His children even more intimately.
Obviously, the overall theme is God creating. I tried to give a visual interpretation of Genesis 1:1. You will notice that the hand of God is lifting Adam from the dust (dirt). Adam’s outstretched arms form the shape of a cross. There is a rainbow of birds flying across the hand of God, with a red one, signifying the nail print Christ would eventually suffer, in God’s palm. Even at that moment, God knew that His only Son would have to die!
