Sacred and profane

Category: Faces

40x40cm

This powerful artwork depicts a wise face that contains a series of deep symbols within it. Among the elements that make up the face, we find olive leaves, symbolizing peace and wisdom, the Holy Grail, the body of Christ in the form of the Eucharist, and a figure resembling God standing with a halo, evoking the divine and the sacred. However, when the artwork is viewed from another angle, turned upside down, a completely different image emerges: a mouth seemingly ready to perform an act suggesting oral sex, creating a striking and provocative contrast. This visual play explores the conflict between the sacred and the profane, between divine wisdom and human instinct, inviting the viewer to reflect on the duality of being and the complexity of religious, moral, and sexual symbols.
