The composition features bold, clear forms and vibrant colors, emphasizing a sense of innocence and spiritual devotion. The artist’s approach breaks away from academic conventions, favoring an intuitive style that captures the essence of faith and community. As a preparatory model for the mosaic in the church, the work balances naïveté with thoughtful Design, creating a compelling visual narrative.
