In Bless This House, Boniface transforms a simple prayer for hearth and home into a radiant visual hymn. At its centre, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, encircled by a crown of thorns and bathed in celestial light, anchors the composition, a symbol of Christ’s protective and overflowing love. Surrounding it, vivid panels of patterned colour pulse with warmth and joy, each section hand-painted in Boniface’s translucent lacquer technique that shimmers with the brilliance of stained glass.
Beneath the heart, the blessing inscribed, “Lord, bless this house with abundance, love and peace”, reflects the artist’s faith-filled hope that every home may be graced by God’s light. Both devotional and decorative, this work invites viewers to recognise holiness in the everyday and to make room for gratitude and grace within their own homes.
