This 36”x 48” original painting (framed), exhibited at River Oaks Square Arts Center as part of Carmouche’s Marks of Becoming exhibition, presents a powerful and symbolic portrayal of a lion crowned with thorns. Representing both the suffering and sovereignty of Christ, the lion evokes the enduring image of the Lion of Judah—bearing the crown not as a symbol of defeat, but as a profound testament to divine love, sacrifice, and redemption.
Through rich, layered textures and expressive brushwork, the piece captures a moment of quiet reverence where pain and power exist in harmony. The lion’s steady gaze conveys endurance, mercy, and unshakable strength, inviting viewers into a deeper reflection on the spiritual truth that through sacrifice comes salvation—and through surrender, eternal hope.
