Akiane update
S
ince our interview with Miss Kramarik,
there has been an exciting new development. Her
famous portrait of Christ, Prince of Peace —
derived from her spiritual experience as a child
— has found its way out of the shadows and back
into the light.
Stolen by her agent soon after its first showing,
the portrait became the focal point of a long and
drawn-out court battle. The Kramarik family
eventually won and the painting was sent back
to the young artist. Unfortunately, due to shabby
shipping practices, the Prince of Peace sustained
heavy damage. Despite Akiane’s best attempts,
some scars were permanent.
Despite this, the painting was still available for
exhibition. It was sent to another agent for display
purposes only but was mistakenly sold instead.
Another legal battle ensued and the new owner,
having no interest in the painting as anything
more than a collectible, kept it hidden away.
When the owner passed away their remaining
family members stored the portrait in a vault
until finally, after 16 years in darkness, it became
available for acquisition.
In 2019 another family paid $850,000 for the
portrait and invited Akiane to unveil it and return
the Prince of Peace to the light. This wonderful
family hopes to keep the painting safe and share
the Prince of Peace with the world.
