Original Work

Icon

The work reinterprets the sacred image through a frontal, featureless figure in which the body becomes simultaneously presence, relic, and sign. The red disc surrounding the head refers to the halo without fixing the figure within a precise religious identity. The broad and vulnerable brown silhouette is traversed by a dense, gestural yellow intervention that may be perceived as wound, light, or spiritual matter. A secondary form positioned laterally introduces an ambiguous presence that may be read as witness, double, or extension of the principal body. Against the muted pink ground, these elements construct an image of sacrality, corporeality, and the fragility of a being venerated not for perfection but precisely for the traces it bears.Technique: acrylic on stretched canvasSize: 50 x 70 cmYear: 2026
