LUKE 23:42 (The weeping Sicario) Painting

“Luke 23:42” (The Weeping Sicario) Oil on canvas, 24” x 20” by #Jaimekafati This painting is a tribute to the most unlikely of candidates I’ve met during my previous career. It’s their story of redemption. While executing this painting, I worked with a professional art model and added the tattoos to serve as the allegorical context. These tattoos are a collection from the many individuals I’ve personally interviewed and photographed throughout the years, in the US and abroad. “Lucas 23:42” (El Sicario Lloro) Óleo sobre lienzo, 60.96 cm X 50.80 cm Esta obra es un tributo a los candidatos más improbables que conocí en mi carrera antepasada. Es su historia de redención. Cuando ejecute esta pintura, trabaje con un modelo profesional, solamente agregue los tatuajes para servir como contexto alegórico. Estos tatuajes son la compilación personal de personajes que entreviste y fotografié tras los años, en los EEUU y el exterior. In 2012, as a presenter at the Colorado STING National Conference, I had the privilege to meet and break bread with lecturers Michael Franzese, former Caporegime of the NY Colombo family, and Ramon “Mundo” Mendoza, a former founder of the Mexican Mafia. This painting was inspired by their personal story of redemption. Many thanks for their continued ministering.
