Martirium

Description

The MARTIRIUM artwork depicts the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, but with a twist – Saint Sebastian is portrayed as a woman. The female Saint Sebastian is shown bound with arrows piercing her body, symbolizing the intense pain and sacrifice she endured for her beliefs. The artwork is a powerful commentary on gender roles in religion and society, and challenges the traditional representation of male saints as martyrs. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the painting create a hauntingly beautiful image that captures the viewer’s attention and evokes a range of emotions.
The work was created from a photograph taken of the subject on a white background on which 3D details or images are inserted with the photomontage technique
