My First Jesus Piece

 

"Through the Eyes"

Acrylic

16x20

This project consisted of creating your own personal response on the story or music of Jesus. I wanted to combine both the story and music together to create a emotional piece. Im not the most religious person but I wanted to attempt painting my own jesus which was inspired by my roommate Craig, who looks very much like Jesus.

I wanted to capture the pain, suffering, and sacrifice of Jesus Christ with an intimate piece by focusing on the part of the human body which evokes the most emotion. Also combining the music sheets from Bach's St. Matthew Passion created another layer of drama in this piece.
