About the Item

Sanctus Paulus, 2024 Graphite and White Chalk on Toned Paper, 6 x 6.5 inches A source of firm contemplation, Justas Varpucanskis’s drawing “Sanctus Paulus” is a resolute rendition of St. Paul the Apostle. The artist’s nuanced use of chiaroscuro instills the saint’s countenance with a layered depth, while the delicate highlights, skillfully rendered in white chalk, evoke a feeling of fervent and intrepid light. This detailed drawing distills the essence of St. Paul’s unwavering faith, unshakeable courage, and perseverance, tempered by intellectual and spiritual depth, empathy, and humility. Varpucanskis’s bold, precise, and expressive line work, infused with inventive force and muted eloquence, conjures a personal and reticent encounter with the saint. In the presence of this reflective drawing, we are brought into an area of thoughtful introspection, where beauty, spirituality, and the artist’s skill fuse into a harmonious accord.
