The second of two portraits of Mother Teresa by Bijendra shows her in a different light then many of the other depictions. She is serious and almost sad in this rendering. Many do not consider the burden that this tiny woman bore. She always felt as if she was not doing enough for Jesus. She shared with her fellow nuns of the Missionaries of Charity that, though she had often felt close to God and in HIs presence in the earlier years of her ministry, as time passed, God felt more and more distant from her. Still she carried on doing all that she could for the sake of those she served.
Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic Sister and missionary who founded the Missionaries of Charity. Members adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience as well as a fourth vow, to give “wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor.” Mother Teresa was the recipient of numerous honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize. On September 4, 2017, she was canonized as a Saint by the Catholic Church.
Bijendra was born in 1987 in Bihar, India. He received a Bachelor of Arts in 2008 and a Masters of Fine Art in 2010 from Banaras Hindu University.
