Close To His Heart (Hand Embellished Canvas Print)

Hand-Embellished Canvas Prints

The canvas is hand-embellished by Vanessa Horabuena herself using the highest of quality, richly pigmented acrylic paints. A specialized texture medium is added to enhance depth, creating dimensional highlights that catch light and bring areas of the painting to life. Vanessa’s original signature is applied directly to the canvas, replacing the printed one for an authentic finish.

Each piece is printed in-house using 12 archival pigment inks, then carefully hand-stretched onto custom, high-end 1 1/2" gallery depth poplar wood bars… crafted and assembled right here in our Tempe, Arizona studio. To protect and preserve the work, each embellished canvas is sealed with a professional-grade UV-protectant varnish, applied by a trained technician. This final touch ensures lasting brilliance and protection from fading, dust, and humidity. 

The finished piece is a one of a kind with a resemblance to an original painting. The product will be shipped out with a certificate of authenticity. 

Prophetic Meaning

Through the years of abuse, the childhood memories flooded her mind. Shame was her greatest companion, as the pain of the past crippled her present, making her future seem hopeless. But, though she felt alone...she was not alone. There was One who pursued her with an everlasting love. Her heartaches, became His heartaches, her sorrow...His sorrow. He paid the highest price just to be near to her. He traded His life...to take on her pain, bear her burdens and heal her wounds. The journey would never be easy...the road ahead was long. But the One who held her close was faithful. He saw her through It all. She was once a broken young girl...she was once a young woman of despair...but through it all she was close to His Heart. This is my story and the story of so many others. You are never alone, He sees your every hurt.
