Antonio Saladino received and is still receiving his
inspirational visions that inspire his artwork after a profound miracle event
that took place in March of 2001 in his mother's hospital room. His mother was
diagnosed with a massive brain tumor and the outlook was grim.
That night in the hospital room Antonio fell to
his knees and began to pray to God to grant a miracle and save his mother's
life. All night long he prayed and asked God to help. The sun was
coming up and the room was bright when at the door stood a handsome tall
Polynesian gentleman
wearing a Hawaiian shirt, jeans and deck shoes. He was carrying in his hand a
gold host vessel.
He came up to Antonio's mother and placed his hand on her head
and said "I'm going to give you a healing and a blessing". Then he asked to say
the Lord's prayer. He presented the host to Antonio and his mother and said to
Antonio everything will be alright.
Antonio looked down at his mother for a brief moment then
looked up and the man was gone. A few minutes later Antonio's mother had
another MRI scan performed. When the results of the test were received by his
mother's neurologist, he was stunned. The massive growth had shrunk to the size
of the tip of a baby's finger.
Two days later Antonio's mother was home from the hospital. It
truly was a miracle! Prior to this experience, Antonio had not been a very
religious man, however, after his profound miracle event that's all changed.
Antonio has been blessed twice, his mother's healing and his new artistic
blessings from God! Each fine art piece Antonio creates is truly a "Statement
of Faith".
