Dang, that's a beautiful image. The idea of a faded belief is so sad. It looks like a sculpture of Jesus, and it's really devestating that belief can fade in some and be on fire in others. I really like how it looks like the world is pealing back. These are just my interpretations, again, beautiful image.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear --
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.'

Ozymandias
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

-----------------------------------
Your piece reminded me of the poem Ozymandias.
The tale of the "king of kings" who's only testiment to his greatness is a crumbling statue surrounded by nothing. A faded belief in his own greatness perhaps.

can't say i like it.... balance is offm i son't really like the colors, and it honestly doesn't portray the feeling of fadded belief to me.

by the way, i'm not saying this as a christian, but as an artist.

Oh it's ok I understand...i make art for myself , it's not intended to make everyone happy or pleased, if iam happy with the peice than i post it , if someone might like it than iam happy, but if you don't i don't have anything against you or anything

but iam glad you told me what you specifically didn't like about it.

that face statue is of Zues i think. Most of the painting of christ are based off of greek gods.
Christ was not a pretty man nore was he pretty to look at isaiah 53 just one sample.
