Amaos los unos a los otros? (Do you love one another?) A bold and emotionally charged painting that confronts the gap between religious teachings and lived reality. The title references the words of Jesus — a commandment to love one another — yet the question mark at the end flips the phrase into a challenge, a provocation, and a mirror to society.
Set against a chaotic, richly textured background of saturated reds, yellows, blacks, and blues, the painting features a decorative metal cross at its center — a symbol of faith, tradition, and power. But rather than offering comfort, the cross feels suspended in tension, caught in a space between divinity and doubt.
This piece questions the moral authority claimed by organized religion, spotlighting the hypocrisy that often hides behind dogma. It asks: Do we really love one another? Or do we use belief to elevate ourselves, to judge, and to exclude?
Through layered color, raw texture, and spiritual symbolism, the artist challenges the viewer to examine their own sense of morality, not through scripture, but through action.
Mood: Reflective, confrontational, spiritual, critical
Main Colors: Crimson red, ochre, teal, black, white
Inspiration: A visual meditation on religious hypocrisy, moral superiority, and the urgent need for authentic compassion. Amaos los unos a los otros? It is both a question and a demand — one that remains painfully relevant.
This painting was exhibited at the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in New York City and was featured in its Art Collector Magazine.
