Christ is a powerful and reverent depiction of the crucifixion, capturing both the spiritual transcendence and brutal physicality of this pivotal moment in Christian belief. With dramatic textures and a vivid interplay of earthy reds, ochres, and deep blues, the figure of Jesus is rendered not as an idealized icon but as a deeply human, suffering savior.

The texture of the cross, the crown of thorns, and the blood-streaked body tell a visceral story of sacrifice, while the upward gaze evokes a divine connection beyond earthly pain. Lingua’s linework and layering technique lend the piece a mosaic-like quality, evoking ancient sacred art while remaining undeniably contemporary. This work demands attention—raw, emotional, and unflinching in its portrayal of faith and endurance.
