Artwork description

Carrying the Cross is a vivid digital artwork that reimagines a traditional religious scene with a surreal and abstract touch. Bright greens and glowing oranges dominate the composition, creating a dreamlike environment that frames the central figures. The characters, small but distinct, are gathered around a cross, their postures conveying weight, struggle, and devotion.

The use of color gives the piece an almost otherworldly quality. The neon-like background contrasts sharply with the softer, warmer tones of the figures, emphasizing their humanity against a backdrop of overwhelming spiritual or emotional intensity. The halo around the central figure suggests a holy presence, pulling the viewer’s focus toward the heart of the scene.

This piece captures both the physical burden and the spiritual gravity of the moment. Through abstraction, it allows the viewer to engage with the scene emotionally rather than literally, evoking reflection on suffering, sacrifice, and endurance.
