At the Fairest Love Family Project, we believe beauty has the power to draw hearts to truth. And when it comes to the heart of the family, Mary, Mother of Fairest Love, we knew we needed an image that would speak across cultures and generations.

That’s why we are thrilled to announce a new commission from world-renowned Spanish painter Raúl Berzosa, whose sacred art is known for its emotional depth, theological precision, and breathtaking beauty. Dive into a new painting by Raúl Berzosa:

A Master of Sacred Art

Raúl Berzosa, born in Málaga, Spain in 1979, is a celebrated Catholic painter in Spain and around the world. He has been entrusted with major commissions by the Vatican, pontifical academies, and Catholic institutions across Europe, Latin America, and the U.S.. His work often depicts profound theological themes, always rendered with classical technique, vibrant color, and unmistakable reverence.

Among his most well-known pieces are a large-scale series of portraits of the Doctors of the Church for the Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts and Letters in Rome, and allegorical works on the Trinity, the Church, and the Holy Spirit. He has also painted deeply human and devotional scenes, offering viewers not just a glimpse of heaven, but an invitation to enter into it.

From Marble to Canvas: A Living Portrait of Love

This painting will not be a replication or departure, but a transfiguration; an extension of the stunning marble sculpture created by American sculptor Cody Swanson. While the sculpture captures Our Lady’s quiet strength and maternal tenderness, the painting will place her within the home at Nazareth, where the love that shaped the Savior’s humanity flourished in daily life.

You’ll find familiar details in the finished work:
– A rose in her hand, representing both her beauty and her strength.
– The wedding ring on her finger, honoring her full participation in family life.
– The holy belt around her waist, a traditional sign of Mary’s motherhood.
– And in the background, a quiet but powerful presence: St. Joseph, the guardian of the Redeemer and the model of chaste fatherhood.

All these elements come together not only to depict a moment in history, but to invite us into it, to make our own homes a reflection of Nazareth, centered on love, sacrifice, and faith.

A Work for Generations

While the full image will be revealed later this year, we believe this painting will quickly become a beloved image for families, parishes, schools, and anyone seeking to root their lives in authentic love. It’s more than a painting. It’s a mission in brushstrokes, a visual call to live family life with dignity, joy, and holiness.

As the world grapples with confusion about love, marriage, motherhood, and fatherhood, this image offers a clear and compelling answer. It will be featured on prayer cards, in homes, and in hearts for generations to come.

We can’t wait to show you more. Until then, please join us in praying for the completion of this sacred work, and that through it, Mary, Mother of Fairest Love, will continue to draw countless souls closer to her Son.
