An illustration of the first verse of Genesis, 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth'. We see the vast expanse of the universe shrouded in celestial darkness, with ethereal clouds swirling around in infinite patterns. Various celestial bodies glow in harmonious palettes of purples, blues and blacks, invoking a sense of mystery and awe. An omnipresent, radiant light, symbolizing divine power, permeates the scene, casting out the darkness. A bolt of this energy gives life to a barren planet, thus picturing the moment of creation. The image is rendered in a digital, contemporary style full of vibrant colors and smooth blends.
