Description

So I made a drawing serie about the "Seven Deadly Sins", used mixed media (papers, frabrics, pencils, pens, watercolor, acrylics) and decided to use the colors red, green, white & black. Red or green variated according to the sin, to which of the two colors fits it better.
The text on the drawing is on spanish.



PRIDE - latin: SUPERBIA



In almost every list Pride is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and indeed the ultimate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to give compliments to others though they may be deserving of them, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor." In Jacob Bidermann's medieval miracle play, Cenodoxus, Pride is the deadliest of all the sins and leads directly to the damnation of the famed Doctor of Paris, Cenodoxus. In perhaps the most famous example, the story of Lucifer, Pride was what caused his Fall from Heaven, and his resultant transformation into Satan. Vanity and Narcissism are prime examples of this Sin. In the Divine Comedy, the penitent were forced to walk with stone slabs bearing down on their backs in order to induce feelings of humility.



MEDIA: papers, fabric, watercolor, acrylics, other.




The seven deadly sins serie is complete! :D
