The Way Of Cross

The 8 water colour paintings and 19 Indian Ink on paper bring out the excruciating pain of Christ’s suffering, hence surfacing His divine persona.
Inspired by Mel Gibson’s film ‘The Passion of the Christ’ and hence, decided to create a similar series with paintings. 

D’mello has depicted the important episodes of Christ’s last hours such as stripping Him, Christ carrying the cross, Christ falling under the cross, Christ being nailed to the cross, crucifixion, Christ’s body placed on his mother’s lap and Christ being laid in tomb.









The 19 Indian Ink on paper sketches depict different biblical episodes such as ‘The triumphant march,’ ‘Face of Christ,’ ‘Christ in Gethsemane garden,’ ‘Christ’s final submission’ and also various portraits of Christ wearing an expression of pain that are intricately drawn with the dark strokes.


Testimonials:
“God lies in details and these paintings with fine details has the capacity to influence the viewer,” says Orchid Art Gallery Director William Pais.

“There is a deep spiritual message in every art piece provided we are able to see and read it,” said Louis Pinto who attended the exhibition.

“There are unseen lines between the lines that are shown in the picture. This is a unique way to celebrate the Holy week,” said Stephen, a photographer.

The 10 watercolors depict in great detail the final journey of Christ. The subdued hues used in the works bring out the somber mood of the surroundings.
