The painting "Eleven of the Lord" evokes a profound meditation on the moment described in Matthew 28:16-20, where Jesus, after his resurrection, sends his disciples to make disciples of all nations. This event, marked by the presence of only eleven disciples, highlights the wound and loss suffered by the group following the betrayal and death of Judas. However, it is also a powerful symbol of hope and renewal.

Spiritual transformation often arises from the recognition of our limitations and loss. In this context, the eleven disciples represent an incomplete community strengthened by its mission and by the promise of Christ's ongoing presence. The ascension, then, is a call to transcend earthly difficulties and embrace a broader, more spiritual worldview.

The image of Jesus rising toward heaven, surrounded by a divine splendor, symbolizes the promise of new life and mission, despite adversity. The disciples, though few in number, are witnesses to this divine manifestation and are charged with carrying forward the message of love and redemption.

Thus, this work of art not only represents a historic and sacred moment, but also invites reflection on the power of commitment and faith, even in the most uncertain and lost moments.
