Tom Boggio:  

Boggio learned that he could truly trust in God no matter what happens. Boggio learned first hand the truth of Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. No matter what happens to the believer in Jesus Christ – God will work it out for his good. God took Boggio’s God given artistic talent and gave him a real purpose for his life. Boggio has purposely vectored his artistic talent to create exclusively Avant-garde Evangelistic Paintings – “Art works with a soul purpose.” Along with each painting, Boggio has created a poem in free verse that enhances the meaning and passion of the painting. Boggio never publicly displays a painting without its accompanying framed 17x11” poem. Although Boggio uses pastel he does not like to paint small. The framed size of his paintings is 40x48” or 48x40”. Boggio is very enthusiastic about pastel. He has chosen pastel because its powdery surface increases the refraction of light providing an intensity of color unchallenged by other media. In Boggio’s large pastel paintings, the Art Nouveau Style is often reflected. Characteristically of Boggio’s paintings, Boggio paints flat to purposely maintain the two dimensional feel of the painting. His paintings manifest a strong contrast between lights and darks and his use of color is potent and bold. His subjects are intentionally simplified making it easy for the viewer to recall the painting and its basic message. Through his pastel paintings and poems, Boggio is using his creative and artistic talent to help those people that are chosen by God for salvation - to see that Jesus Christ is the one and only way to Heaven and to encourage them to take immediate action by asking Jesus to be their Lord and Savior. Boggio prefers not to list or boast about his awards and accomplishments but is more than willing to boast that he knows the LORD (Jeremiah 9:23 & 24).
