An Interview with RENE |

 |
What inspires you to create art? |
|
 |
The love of God. |
|
|
|
What's your favorite design you've submitted, and why? |
|
|
|
Refuge. Why? I designed it with the roots from a tree and Jesus crucified with His face down because in times of anguish or when I really need to be with God, my refuge is a tree that is planted in soil filled with love.
And when I embrace this tree and feel Jesus, I feel as if I was embracing the cross and that He would reach down and touch my head. That is where I find my consolation. |

|
What's your favorite design submitted by an artist other than yourself, and why? |
|
|
|
My favorite design is Peace in Jesus by Zack J Krzyzanski.
The day that I found our that I was going to be a father for the first time, I receive the news by phone.
With that emotion in me as I had my computer in front of me, I came upon my brother Zack's design that said:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
I had these words on my heart that day:
Give me faith, oh Lord, during periods of desolation and despair. Inspire me to trust in your promises. Give me courage, oh Lord, when my faith loses steam.
Help me to obey your Word despite the challenges and my desolation being large. Thank you for giving me a bright future in Jesus. Please, help me live more consciously of the value of this great gift.
In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. |

What tips would you give to other up and coming artists in the Canvas community? |
|
|
|
Tips. Hmmm...
Allow God to be the designer, and that your hands, heart and mind be willing to serve Him. |
|
|
|
What type of music do you listen to?
What about hobbies / other interests? |
|
|
|
I enjoy Classic and Hard Rock. For example, the song "ZOE" by a group of brothers from Costa Rica named "Sin Paredes" touches my life daily.
One of my favorite songs in English is "My Jesus" by Todd Agnew. And from the oldies, "Calling You" by Stryper.
I feel honored and happy to be part of the group (Guerreros del Desierto) in Chihuahua, Mexico. It is where I can participate monthly in the spiritual experiences that are carried out.
My hobby: speak with God daily and to express it in a t-shirt on Canvas. |
|
|
|
How did you become a follower of Christ? |
|
|
|
I am 38 years old, and was born in Mexico.
For the past 15 years, I have been working in the administration of one of the malls in Chihuahua, Mexico. My greatest gift in this life is a son who is only days old.
I received a Christian education throughout my childhood thanks to my grandmother, whom I also received my Biblical studies.
Since then I have been a follower of Christ. Nevertheless, it was only a few years ago that I received a new heart in my chest one Sunday morning, and was converted into a warrior of God with a second opportunity at life. |

| Rene's original version: |
|
|
What inspires you to create art? |
|
|
|
El amor a Dios. |
|
|
|
What's your favorite design you've submitted, and why? |
|
|
|
Refugio.
Porque? el diseño lo hice en base de ramas de arbol y Jesus cruxificado con su cabeza volteando hacia abajo, porque en momentos de angustia
o de necesidad de estar con Dios, mi refugio es un arbol que esta plantado en una tierra hermosa llena de amor,
del que yo me abrazo y siento a Jesus, lo siento como si estuviera yo abrazando a esa antigua cruz y Él estuviera tocando mi cabeza desde arriba, ahi es donde encuentro mi consuelo.

Peace in Jesus de Zack J Krzyzanski.
El día que supe que yo iba a ser por primera vez Papá, recibi esa noticia por telefono y con esa emocion
frente a mi tenia mi computadora y abri la sin pensar el diseño de mi hermano Zack que dice: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
ese dia en mi corazon estaban estas palabras: Dame fe, Oh Señor, durante los períodos de desolación y desesperanza.
Inspírame a confiar en tus promesas. Dame coraje, oh Señor, cuando mi fe flaquea.
Ayúdame a obedecer tu palabra aunque los desafíos sean grandes y mi desolación también.
Gracias por darme un futuro brillante en Jesús. Por favor ayúdame a vivir más concientemente con el valor de este gran regalo.
En el nombre de Jesús oro. Amén.

Tengo 38 años de edad, mexicano de nacimiento, desde hace 15 años, trabajo en la administración de uno de los principales malls de Chihuahua Mexico, -
Mi regalo mas grande en esta vida es un hijo varon de pocos dias de nacido.
Recibi una educacion cristiana desde niño por parte de mi abuela, de quien recibi mis estudios de biblia, y desde
entonces he sido un seguidor de Cristo, sin embargo fue hasta hace un par de años que recibi mi nuevo corazón de carne
en mi pecho una mañana de Domingo y me converti en un Guerrero de Dios con una segunda oportunidad de vida.
