Deception, Deut 18.10 by Elise Aleman

This is an oil on canvas piece that I made as part of my Cuba series. I had a harsh critique at school from my professor and because of that it is my least favorite.

Before you read the verse associated with work answer these questions.

  1. What does that extreme size difference between the figure and the blue door tell you?

  2. What emotion and the pose of the women tell you?

  3. Read Deut 18.10. From a Christian’s perspective after reading the verse, how have your answers changed?

  4. Is there anything else in the painting that has meaning to you?
