Original artwork description:

Artwork with warm, earthy colors that highlight the pallor of Saint Catherine of Siena at the moment of her death, when the stigmata she received on April 1, 1375 became evident. It seems that her stigmatization was different from that of Saint Francis or Padre Pio, whose wounds were visible and bleeding. Those of the great Saint, at her express prayer to the Lord God, were made invisible to her throughout her life, and only when she breathed her last did the phenomenon of the appearance of the five “holes” occur. In this work, I wanted to express an intense fusion of pain and compassion with soft brushstrokes and warm colors. The enveloping figure symbolizes protection and shared suffering, while the setting creates a sacred and reflective atmosphere. This painting will bring a profound energy into your home, made up of empathy and spirituality, capable of touching the soul and inviting you to meditate on the human mystery.
