At just 8 years old, Akiane Kramarik created a breathtaking portrait of Jesus, “Prince of Peace,” inspired by a divine vision. However, the painting was stolen and remained lost for 16 years, only to be recently rediscovered.
Now 28, Akiane, a renowned author and philanthropist, recalls the painting’s origins. “The inspiration comes from God, and His voice is soft and lovely.” Raised in a non-religious family, Akiane’s spiritual awakening was a surprise to all.
A vision of a carpenter led Akiane to paint “Prince of Peace.” After searching for a model, a carpenter resembling Jesus appeared at their door, and she knew she had found her subject.
Following years of legal battles, Akiane finally recovered her masterpiece, selling it to a private collector. “Prince of Peace” now graces the Belóved Gallery in Texas. Akiane reflects on its return, “It’s still surreal… Love is incredibly potent.” Her journey is a testament to the power of faith and creativity.
