Divine Geometry
Special Medium: Rust
30 in by 40 in
This painting by the First Filipino Rust Painter, Ramon H. Lopez, reimagines The Last Supper with a vibrant, modern geometric abstraction, using rust and acrylic to add texture and color. Each figure, including Jesus and the twelve apostles, is depicted through faceted shapes, making the traditional biblical scene come alive with energy and structure. The use of triangles and bold color blocks creates a stained-glass window effect, giving the painting a spiritual glow. Jesus, at the center, radiates a warm halo, emphasizing his divinity, while the apostles gather closely around him in contemplation.
The rust adds an organic, raw texture to the otherwise crisp, geometric forms, grounding the divine scene in earthly tones. The acrylic paints bring out vibrant colors-reds, greens, and yellows-that represent both the sacred atmosphere of the moment and the emotions of the figures. This fusion of abstract design with religious iconography creates a unique and contemporary take on a classic theme.
