A breathtaking fusion of divinity and fragility, Mary by Lingua reimagines the sacred iconography of the Virgin Mary through a contemporary, mosaic-inspired lens. The composition is a striking balance between devotion and destruction, as the serene figure appears to fracture into shards-symbolizing resilience, suffering, and transcendence. The intricate detailing of cracked stone and shattered glass suggests both the weight of history and the persistence of faith, while the glowing halo and sacred heart radiate warmth, hope and spiritual endurance.
Lingua's masterful use of color, blending deep blues with golden oranges, evokes the timeless beauty of religious frescoes while infusing the piece with modern emotional intensity. The crown of thorns intertwined with the breaking mosaic speaks to both sacrifice and redemption, inviting the viewer to contemplate the duality of pain and grace.
A profound statement piece for collectors drawn to spiritual symbolism, contemporary religious art, and masterful hyperrealism, Mary bridges the gap between tradition and transformation, faith and fragility.
