Sacred artist shares how Aquinas inspired her stunning work

Mexican visual artist and author Edith Pons has described how her faith and artistic vocation merged following a period of distance from both. Pons, who received the 2026 Bernini Award in the Fine Art category, studied visual arts at the National School of Painting, Sculpture, and Printmaking in Mexico.

Pons stated to Aleteia that her return to the faith began with a personal transformation during a difficult period in her life. She noted that this experience led her to find God within the Church.
