Religious
This is my latest painting titled "Mary Magdalene," created using a gel plate. The piece portrays the saint in a classic style, with a single tear in her eye that reflects the sorrow of loss. I painted her with a dark yet slightly iridescent shirt and hood, hinting at her past, while using muted tones for her face and features to suggest humility and serenity in her later years. Surrounding her is a large golden halo set against a copper background, emphasizing both her sanctity and the depth of her story.
Mary Magdalene is often called the "Apostle to the Apostles" for being the first to herald the resurrection of the Lord. In this painting, however, I wanted to capture her in the moment three days before, during the grief and uncertainty that came with his death. It is a reflection not only of her role in the biblical narrative but also of the human capacity to carry sorrow and faith simultaneously. The work is both devotional and contemplative, seeking to honor her presence in history and spirit.
