“Today my prayer has been on the tip of my pencil
who has drawn a christ…
Having God in your heart and a pencil in your hand…
What more can I ask for?…
I’ve had a happy day…
However, I always end up saying: It’s not this…
But it doesn’t matter, neither I nor the greatest painter of the centuries,
They will be able to paint that… that nobody can.
Meanwhile, no one stops me from praying
with the tip of my pencil
that with enormous affection is forming,
Little by little, the figure of Christ.”

-San Rafael Arnaiz
