Having resided in San Francisco for over a decade, I have come to regard it as my second home. The city holds a special place in my heart. Whether strolling along the captivating Embarcadero, embarking on invigorating hikes in Golden Gate Park, or witnessing breathtaking sunsets at the Presidio, every moment spent here is a testament to the city’s magnificence. The undulating hills, the ethereal fog, and the serene bay combine to create a truly awe-inspiring landscape. It is often said, “Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, and San Francisco is the second,” a sentiment I wholeheartedly embrace.

Beyond its physical beauty, what truly resonates with me is the remarkable cultural diversity that thrives within San Francisco’s vibrant tapestry. However, it weighs heavily on my heart to witness certain challenges the city faces, particularly the exodus of its inhabitants. In the midst of these concerns, my prayers are fervent, seeking safety and peace for this beloved land. I implore for God’s divine light to shine brightly upon San Francisco, dispelling the darkness that threatens our city. In the words of John 1:5, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” And I invite you to pray with me for the city you love.

The paintings within this series draw inspiration from my walks and hikes, portraying the landscapes that hold my love and hope for San Francisco. It is my sincere desire that more individuals turn their hearts towards God, and that the outflow of people leaving the city decreases. Through my art, I aspire to convey this message of love, hope, and the significance of faith in the face of adversity.
