Daniel Bonnell is an amazing artist, any around the Young Life community have come to appreciate. His works open the door for conversation, engagement, fellowship with others, and communion with God. Daniel is also a special artist in that all of his work is centered around his faith and drawing others to a deeper communion with God. He refers to his art as a “visual sermon.” He also makes his works available for free download, making it a great resource for anyone to engage deeper with God through art.
We encourage you to check out his works, especially those around the Incarnation here in the season of Advent. He also has a video on his home page where you can dig deeper into his approach to these works to understand the Incarnation and the pieces more.
“(…)There is an inexpressible reality beyond words that comes from the divine, a unified field, a holy river, a reality paradoxically found in the beauty of unknowing. It reveals a grounded truth, that the mystery of seeing is seeing the mystery. When we receive a glimpse of this mystery, we have glimpsed eternity, and even the inverted Kingdom of God itself.”
