Artist's Comments

GOMBURZA is the acronym for Gomez, Burgos and Zamora. This is the story of the Three Filipino Martyrs whom were executed by Garrote which is a method of strangulation using a chord and tightened by a screw -like device.

Oooo, yes, I like this! The modelling and composition has this sort of diego rivera feel to it, though not entirely. Very classical and eerie. Ooo, yes, ooo. I love how they worked this sort of barbarism into their paintings. Makes me wonder how they reacted to it back in those days. I mean, in the painting, it has this calm stillness to it, like, complacent, like closure. The act has been completed and it doesn't change. You don't really feel pain or anguish, it's cold and dead, really removed from the event in question.

If I have to draw a contemporary comparison, let's take Mel Gibson's The Passion Of The Christ as an example. This was obviously a horrid event, lots of pain and suffering, I mean, we're talking about a very slow and painful way to die. When people see the crucifixion represented in paintings, it has this odd level of detachment to it, so people don't really see it as a ghastly thing, more like a graphic, like they only see the symbolism. They never see the pain involved, so they're of course throwing this huge stink over this movie because it portrays crucifixion as a really ghastly ordeal, you know? It's strange. Did they expect the final hours of Christ to be fraught with drunken merriment and prostitutes? Sometimes I wonder what people think, if they think at all.

This though, it's good, and the image is of higher quality than previous submissions. I like the texture and the warm colors, and the fabric is beautiful.

Yup, You got that right. I was actually kicked out of an Art Festival because of the deep subject of my artwork. People don't take time to find out about the story behind the painting. There's this one gallery here with a bunch of drunkards that don't even know how to draw, their just a bunch of rich people who were able to afford to take a Fine Arts course in college and they think their an Artist.
:icondarkhorse4002:
Yup, just a little bit bigger than previous one.
:icondarkhorse4002:
I actually have a version of Passion of Christ its also an Oil Painting it just too big that I don't know how can I take a pic of it. The title is " Cruxifiction" I'm going to try to upload it using a webcam,hopefully it'll come out good.
:icondarkvein:
Really Interesting to see the way you can portray an event into painting, amazing talent :)

Bad trip nga naman yung na-prejudge yung painting mo dahil sa depiction ng GomBurZa. I do believe that people should at least try to understand the meaning of it. I see it as a nice tribute to the 3 priests.:)

A nice change from all the CG stuff.:)
:iconblackrose130:
