J Karston paints iconic contemporary portraits & facial images with divine messages hidden in sacred symbols & geometry connecting the viewer’s subconscious to Divine Source or Universal Consciousness.  J Karston only paints, writes or composes music when connected to & guided, in the moment, by the Divine Light, as he is a conduit for what is produced and flows through him. 

J Karston incorporates old world techniques from the luminous masters of da Vinci, Rembrandt, Vermeer & El Greco into his own techniques by layering special mixed media pigments to create Divine Light effects of shimmering, glowing & radiant luminosity to convey Divine messages.

His first masterpiece, Adele in “Breakfast at SNL”, features Adele backstage in hair curlers drinking a Martini prior to going onstage to host Saturday Night Live, which includes divine messages hidden in (3) sacred symbols including the ‘Flower of Life’ medallion and connects one with the Creator providing Divine Light protection, guidance & super-conscious powers.  The painting, thus symbolizes, that everyday, each one of us must elect, in the moment, to be of the Light or of the Dark, to radiate and be either good or evil in all that we do.
