"His Holiness"

£2,000.00

"His Holiness", is an exploration and criticism of religion and politics in modern society. I am in love with the double character of the Pope, a strong and intimidating character chosen to represent the fragile, the innocent and the pure. I tried showing this contrast analogically by using dark and heavy colours to represent the darker side of the character, and using rich colours and even gold, to show the wealth, grandeur and splendour of His Holiness. The Pope represents the idealistic views and examples that modern society ´should´ follow, condemning the reality of the present times shown in the other paitning of this diptych (Everyone who loves...).

Artist Profile

 

I focus on the intensity and power of character in my art, trying to give the energy and heaviness of my subjects through the paintings.

My work is emotionally heavy, and tends to be quite intense in atmosphere – shaped this way by my own life experiences and also by the experiences of the real, “modern” world. Portraits, faces, expressions and interactions of my subjects with the audience on a personal level are among the themes that I have been exploring lately. I use traditional techniques coming from a strong educational background, but am also developing my own instinctive and contemporary approach to painting and art.
