"Self-Portrait as a Penitent": A Garabaggio Framed Print
Description
Oil on digital canvas, 2026. Post-Consumer Baroque series.
The viewer will ask what I am repenting for. The list is long but irrelevant. What matters is the posture: one hand pressed to the sternum, the other open and extended, offering nothing, asking for nothing, simply present. This is how Caravaggio painted Saint Francis in Meditation, though Francis had a skull and I had a dumpster. I would argue that my prop is more honest. The skull is a symbol of mortality. The dumpster is mortality itself, rusting in real time, consuming everything placed inside it, glowing from within. I painted this at 2:15 AM behind a carpet warehouse, and the fire department arrived at 2:40. I had twenty-five minutes of repentance, which is more than most people get.
