Jesus Walking on Water Mosaic - Canvas Prints
Artist: Kevin Pawlowski (Texas US, 1968- )
Title: Be Not Afraid
Medium: Glass mosaic on board
Date: 2017
“Be Not Afraid”, by Kevin Pawlowski, is a glass tile mosaic that shows a majestic scene of Jesus walking on water toward his apostles. Each tile was hand-glued over the course of 2-months, for a total of at least 6,000 pieces of glass. The composition is based on a bible engraving by Gustave Doré from the 19th century. Scroll down to see a video of Kevin’s mosaic assembly process. The original is hanging in the entryway of St. Michael the Archangel Church in Woodstock, GA, but you can have a high quality reproduction for your own home!

THE MADDENING PROCESS OF CREATING THE “BE NOT AFRAID” MOSAIC
I like to create fast artwork. My watercolor engravings tend to take 2-3 hours from start to finish. When oil painting, I prefer to knock out a canvas in 1 or 2 weekends. So how I got involved with a 30” wide mosaic, covered with over 6,000 tiles (by my best estimate), taking 6-weeks, and over 100 hours is anyone’s guess.
