Wine Art
Girded towel and basin, broken bread and poured wine, are the memorial of Christ's sacrifice.
​
By these signs I have started a new series of artworks that reproduce the Lord Jesus, and thus be able to remember His great love for each of us.
​
The purple color of wine is highly symbolic: it is the color that in ancient times was attributed to kings and therefore recalls the royalty of Christ. It also brings to mind the color of the blood Jesus scattered on the cross.
​
During the realization of the works, all the hues of this "supernatural" color alternate: from the light red of the first draft, to the bright red of the subsequent coats up to the purplish color that results in the final layers.
​
Times of realization are "natural", to allow the colors to flow and the Holy Spirit to act.
​
These artworks are icons that require a long time, up to 50 hours of processing.
Personal prayer
