Francis of Assisi and the Light of Suffering

Oil PaintDescription
Expressionist painting inspired by Francis of Assisi, set in a dark, spiritual landscape. At the center stands a male figure marked by stigmata—bloody wounds referencing Christ’s suffering. A glowing white opening in a tree trunk symbolizes divine revelation amidst pain. The contrast of darkness and light, abstraction and figuration, enhances the mystical atmosphere. Francis is portrayed not literally, but as a visionary mystic, deeply connected to nature and the crucifixion. The work becomes a visual meditation on transformation, compassion, and the inner path of surrender.Try it!
