Celebrating the Beauty of God’s Word through Art
The ESV Single Column Journaling Bible, Artist Series is a unique collection of Bibles that combines the timeless wisdom of Scripture with the creative talents of Christian artists. Each Bible features a stunning cover design, carefully crafted by artists such as Peter Voth, Ruth Chou Simons, and Joshua Noom, to inspire reflection and contemplation.
A Masterpiece of Design
Peter Voth, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator from Germany, is one of the talented artists behind the ESV Single Column Journaling Bible, Artist Series. With a style inspired by historical art, the Victorian era, and traditional illustration techniques, Peter’s work is a testament to the beauty of God’s creation.
A Journey of Faith and Art
In an interview, Peter shared his journey as an artist and how his faith informs his work. “As a child, I enjoyed painting and being creative,” he said. “But it wasn’t until I went through a professional crisis that I discovered my true passion for design and illustration.” With perseverance and dedication, Peter built a portfolio that attracted clients from around the world.
The Influence of History and Faith
Peter’s work is influenced by the masters of historic art and illustration, including Gustave Doré and the symbolic language of heraldry. His faith also plays a significant role in his creative process. “I believe that God is a God of beauty and majesty,” he said. “He is the ultimate creator who inspires me to create beauty.”
A Modern-Day Bezalel
Peter’s goal is to be a modern-day Bezalel, a man filled with the Holy Spirit and skilled in his craft. He finds inspiration in Exodus 35:30-35, where God gives his Spirit to Bezalel, an artisan, to carry out his work. “This scripture comforts me and assures me that God loves to fill his children with his Spirit and skill,” Peter said.
Timeless and Detailed
Peter’s artwork, Sanctus, is a reflection of his desire to create something timeless and detailed. Based on the speech of the seraphim in Isaiah 6:3, the artwork captures the atmosphere of holiness and glory. “I wanted to give a little glimpse of this atmosphere in my artwork,” Peter said.
