Portrait of Jesus Christ as a Bas-Relief Wall Sculpture

This work is based on a unique sculpture found in my father's workshop.

…Unfortunately, we didn't see each other much in the last years of his life and I don't know the story of his sculpture…
but I have always liked this work and for many years I have intended to recreate it using my skills in digital art and 3D printing …so finally I did it!

*** A few more details about this work, you can see on my website:

You may find that in my version I have removed the crown of thorns, which is a common feature of the image of Jesus, a mark of distinction, so to speak.

After all, no one knows exactly what Jesus was like (well, maybe someone does …but I’m sure that most don’t).
Usually, artists just make a portrait of a man with long hair and a beard, put a crown of thorns on his head — that’s it, this is Jesus Christ …well you know…

My vision/aspiration was to create a pleasant, bright, already well-known image… but without thorns and crosses…
