Heaven by René Francisco is a large-scale acrylic painting on canvas made in 2007. It measures forty-nine inches tall and ninety-five inches wide, or about four feet tall by almost eight feet wide. It is hung in a landscape orientation, meaning its longer side runs parallel to the floor when displayed in a gallery. The artwork is divided in half by a distinct horizontal line. The top part of this work is painted in sky blue with large-scaled white/light gray letters spelling the word ‘HEAVEN’ that seem to float above the bottom half. The entire bottom half of this painting sees an endless expanse of tiny people, painted in black and white. Starting at the top of the painting, the floating letters are painted in a way to create a distant vanishing point at the very center of the canvas, as though the letters were about to fly out of the top of the painting. The large, capital letters that spell out the word ‘HEAVEN’ are blocky. Each letter is made to taper away from the observer at a forty-five-degree angle from the top corners of the canvas. The letters get smaller toward the middle of the work on the horizon line. The letters taper off to about a quarter of the length downward from the top height of the canvas, which is horizontally twice as wide as it is tall. The very top of the letters which face the audience have square openings. The remaining space of the top half of the canvas, occupying the space between the bottom of the letters and the horizon, is filled with white clouds. The clouds are neither fluffy nor round, instead, like the letters, are rendered as though the artist used a computer animation program. The corners of the letters and clouds are mostly rigid ninety-degree angles, save for the ‘N’ and the ‘V’, giving them a cube-like appearance. From the horizon downward, the bottom half of the painting at first glance looks like a gravel path. It is actually the top of the heads of an endless amount of tiny people. The people closest to the observer along the bottom edge of the painting are fully visible. They are all wearing pants and white T-shirts. Their pants look like jeans, but are painted pale grey. The people are both male and female indicated by the short hair styles and the ponytails. None of them look to the sky, they are all facing each other, as if in conversation. They are turned either left, right, or facing forward with their backs to the viewer.
