nobody knows for sure, not until we get there. and it must be so good that God doesn't want us to see it first because if He did, we won't want to come back to earth anymore.so, what if one needs to portray heaven before he has ever seen it?
we have some hints on what it looks like, in Revelation 21 and 22. although it is describing the holy city - the New Jerusalem - and not heaven specifically, it's close enough that it must be synonymous with heaven.
His book says:
1. God will personally be with His people
2. no tears, no death, no sorrow, no grief, no pain
3. fountain and river of the Water of Life
4. city built entirely of pure gold
5. 2,414 km × 2,414 km × 2,414 km
6. massive wall of jasper, 12 foundation stones, 12 massive gates of pearl
7. God is the Temple and the light
in simple words - absolute beauty beyond imagination. how is that going to be portrayed?
impossible, but still has to be done. however, i will not attempt to portray all that at this time.
blessed Easter, everyone!

Yeah, I know the task is enormous! Just imagine how those Renaissance artists must have felt when they had to paint heaven or pictures of Jesus on cathedral walls/ceilings! You're just a modern-day version of those artists =)
