DESCRIPTION:

Saint Rita is a symbol of admiration for Jesus Christ, and so as not to leave this image confined to a convent, I decided to paint her in a garden, in a position of contemplation of the cross, surrounded by roses. The angel appears when a photo is taken with a flash, thus revealing the spiritual work with light. She is in an almost fetal position to symbolize the birth of faith. This was a commission from the mother of my childhood friends, which I carried out with great care and consideration. May God bless her entire family.
