Divine Touch provides a very interesting take on a very touching and famous piece of art. Here, a simple re-envisioning of a portion of the famous fresco in the Sisteenth Chapel by Michelangelo possesses the power to push the viewer into re-imagining that piece of art and applying their intellect to it in different and interesting ways. The artist of Divine Touch has interpreted the beautiful portion of the Sisteenth Chapel in which the hand of God reaches out to Adam, in order to animate him and give him life. Yet, there are a number of differences between the original piece and the one we are presented with here. In this interpretation of that famous scene, there is great deal more emphasis on texture and line in this version. Here, the painting is stripped of much of its details, and instead the simple connection being made between the two subjects is emphasized. The two hands stretch toward one another, stark lines delineating their form and separating them from the background of the piece. These hands are a golden tan shade that provide a luminous intensity for the action taking place. These forms have a veiny texture that fans of technique will certainly appreciate. The background of this unique piece of canvas artwork provides a fiery backdrop that has a more delicate texture, while still emphasizing color and bringing the subjects into focus perfectly. The background uses a variety of colors to achieve this effect. In the center of the painting the colors are lighter, such as yellow with a great deal of white, as they eye moves outward, the colors fade into a dark orange, then red and finally, on the very edges of the piece, black. The background is done in a sponged manner that creates a nice contrast between the subjects and the background. This paintings classical appeal and completely visionary take on a painting lauded for generations make it a great addition to all sorts of décors and different rooms.
The design of Divine Touch adds a slightly modern flair to this painting that contemporary art enthusiasts will appreciate. The artist of this piece has used three separate canvas panels to achieve the look seen here. Each of the three canvas pieces present here are of the same size and shape. Thus, there is a continuity among the parts present in Divine Touch, while a distinctly modern look is achieved at the same time.
