This one of the rare icons painted by Vivian which does not represent a Catholic Saint.
Charlie Kirk is depicted here, with intentional elements meant to direct the viewer toward God—as expressed in the inscription “Ad Deum” - “To God.” He is shown in a calm, frontal pose, holding the Holy Bible open to Christ’s words: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). A palm branch signifies faithfulness and victory; the red ribbon entwined around it recalls martyrdom, a death for his beliefs, and sacrifice. His wedding band points to his vocation as husband and father, while St. Michael the Archangel stands behind him as defender of truth. The gold field places the image in the eternal light of God’s presence — every element directing the viewer toward the same end: Ad Deum.
Painted on a birch panel symbolizing the True Cross, covered in linen recalling Christ’s burial shroud, and built up through layered marble gesso in the tradition of iconography, this piece is written, not merely painted. Signed AMDG — Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
Printed on premium archival giclée paper with rich, enduring color. Available as a fine art print or a black "gatorboard" rigid mount, ready to display without framing. Frame not included.
Fine Art Paper Print
Our fine art giclée prints are produced on acid-free archival paper using UV-resistant inks, delivering museum-quality color accuracy and a richness of detail that honors the original painting. Because it is lightweight and frameable, the print slips easily into any standard frame — no glass required with Gatorboard, or pair it with glass for a traditional framed presentation. Printed to last generations.
Gatorboard Rigid Mount
Printed directly onto ⅜″ Gatorboard® — a lightweight, rigid foam-core panel — this option is ready to hang or display without a frame. UV inks are printed directly to the surface, making it smudge- and scratch-resistant and completely glare-free. No glass, no frame required. Ideal for immediate display or for those who prefer a clean, contemporary presentation.
