Madonna of the Goldfinch

Madonna of the Goldfinch

A serene gaze, a mother’s embrace,
The goldfinch clutched, a sign of grace.
Colours dance with sacred delight,
Binding the earthly to the divine light.

This acrylic painting on canvas reimagines the classical Madonna theme with a vibrant, expressionistic palette. Bold strokes and layered textures emphasize the figures’ intimacy and symbolic depth. The goldfinch, a Christian symbol of Christ’s Passion, is depicted in sharp contrast to the flowing hues. This modern interpretation bridges sacred art with contemporary techniques, celebrating tradition and innovation.
