    Christian Hook deserves the win and recognition as Artist of the Year. That dude has special gifts; a kind heart and talented hands are only a couple of things that people admire about him.

    Fabrice is such a humble man and so intelligent. It is wonderful that he has no bitterness over his fate and has devoted his life to coach others.

    Not all art touches our heart but this one has for many reasons. All the best to Fabrice and to his family. And all the best to all those who made the story come to life.

    A emotional journey for Fabrice and his family. Christain captured the essence of Fabrice, and the detailing with the key and 78 minutes to represent the length of time Fabrice was unresponsive was very touching. Also the meaning behind the three images of Fabrice.
    Christain is extremely talented and really sees either the person or the horse he is painting. X

    A beautiful story that inspired me and I will pass it on. I have had a miracle in my life also. My husband had been told he would not live with the type of cancer he had. He is very much alive ten yrs. later, a Pastor Counselor, helping many,many people.. We thank God every day. Your gift of painting is enhanced by the time you take to know your subject. What a joy to watch your painting unfold. Thank you and bless you.

    OMG!
    I was a boy who wanted to play professional soccer… but at 17 sprained both my ankles so badly that I couldn’t run for 5 years… so that ended my dream and forced me to change my life completely. At 54, I had to have my mitral valve replaced because it was letting so much blood back in to my left atrium that it threw my heart into afib that felt like a pick axe was chipping away at the same rhythm that a 4 year old would poke me wanting to know every answer to every question under sun the sun. Thanks to 2 open heart surgeries I believe that my heart has become better at being in sync. Though it occasionally goes into afib for a day or more. When it does go into afib, it doesn’t have the pick axe feeling any more. I liken it more to have had a muffler put on it. It doesn’t happen all that often. My record is 576 days in a row of what I call “good beats”. The afib only starts when I get thrown emotionally or I exert myself too much. So yes… it makes me quite fearful of doing too much physically. So, I’ve returned to the activities that I used love doing before I got into soccer/football… which is painting and music. I can’t tell you all of the levels that this video reaches in me but I couldn’t be more sincere in saying “Thank you” for putting this video up. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is grateful!!!

    I wonder if Fabrice has had a pacemaker inserted to circumvent any ventricular arrythmias which may result in cardiac arrest.
    Postscript: I asked this question before viewing the entire video which answers this query.
    Remarkable final portrait with the symbols of faith. Mr. Hook is most worthy of the award, Portrait Artist of the Year.

    Is anyone not seeing what I saw? They said he was "motionless," "not moving" but I clearly saw his legs move, twitch and his arms move BEFORE the guy rolled him over. Did anyone else notice that? It's sad that he had to quit playing soccer and it's great he's alive but...smh, his body did not say "dead" to me.

    • @gloriapinskerportraits4801
      @gloriapinskerportraits4801 4 роки тому +4

      I believe that dead bodies can move and twitch before rigor mortis sets in. He also may have been in the process of dying and might have been clinically dead after they removed him from the field. At any rate, he is back and that's what matters. I am inspired by the way he is rebuilding his life in a meaningful way instead of giving in to anger and bitterness.
