Artwork in which I devised an imaginary portrait of St. Francis of Assisi when, in his gray/brown woolen robe, he received the sacred stigmata on Mount la Verna (Sept. 15, 1224). The sacredness of the moment exudes in a glow of light that radiates intensely and delicately into the painting through the chromatic imprint of his habit. This, also reverberating in the expression of His face, describes His features, letting His strong personality, extreme gentleness, purity of soul emerge, which was the background of His aura of mystery and amiability, in disarming simplicity. I explored the depth of expressionism and realism to express her emotional and spiritual intensity. With oil, I brought to life a portrait that speaks of introspection and premonition, playing with soft tones and lights that accentuate contemplation and serenity. This painting is not just a visual observation, but an invitation to reflect on one's inner experiences and beliefs.
