Today's assignment was to explore mandolin art. I chose spirituality as my topic. What you see in these 2 pictures represent my take of Jesus's opinion on today's world.

Ripping his chest open he is reminding us of the sacrifice he had done for us and the 1st circle of the mandolin represents the earth that he gave us; the 2nd circle shows us the complexities of the the modern world and how we are caught up in it. If u notice carefully, there are gaps or ways by which you can escape from it. The 3rd circle is for the things we take for granted now a days such as the flora and fauna, the sky and the sun and even love. Its been pushed to the last sphere now.

I am very aware that the man in the picture looks nothing like Jesus Christ but this is just my modern representation of him. Being uncomfortable with paint, I have used only Gel pens and a few occasional sketch pens to finish the work. I have done 2.. one mandolin circles in colour and the other in black and white. Hope you liked it.
