About the work

The two Marys

The painting "The Two Marys," inspired by Matthew 28:5-6, offers a profound meditation on the mystery of the Resurrection. The palm tree on the horizon, behind the women, symbolizes eternal life and immortality, a promise of hope that extends into the future. This plant symbol is a reminder of the constant renewal of life.

At the women's feet, the empty slab marks the place where "they had laid Jesus." This empty space is a powerful symbol of absence that, paradoxically, is filled with meaning and announces victory over death. The empty slab is a silent witness to the miracle that has changed the course of history.

The angel in the upper right is the messenger of good news; his ethereal presence illuminates the scene with the certainty of the Resurrection. Mircea Eliade said that “sacred time is the time of wonders, of creation and regeneration.” This painting encapsulates that sacred time, where the divine breaks into the human, transforming pain into hope and death into eternal life.

Together, these elements invite us to contemplate the mystery of faith and the promise of new life, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of the sacred in our everyday existence.
