Oil and Pastel Paintings by Ain Vares
Estonia

Ain Vares was born on July 29, 1966, in Kuressaare, Estonia, and lives there today.  After graduating from art school he painted mainly portraits, nature, and landscapes.  After years of despair, depression, and alcohol, Ain Vares found a rebirth with the Word of God, and since 1993 has painted contemporary Christian art by putting on canvas and paper what God has revealed to him.  Vares' autobiography can be read at his website.

Ain Vares' paintings have been exhibited in Finland and Estonia.

Artist's statement

"My purpose in life is to paint the Word of God; paintings that inspire people to think about spiritual things.  These pictures are for people who seek things that are deeper than this seen world around us can offer. People who thirst for the truth and for the right way of living.  My pictures convey the message of God's endless love for all mankind and His desire to deliver us from all bondage, to save us from this perishing world if we only let Him come into our lives.  I do hope and pray that the message of these paintings will touch every viewer's heart and would open their eyes to see our only savior who is Jesus Christ."
