“Look to Christ! Come closer to Him!”
— Pope Leo XIV
This painting captures a sacred and historic moment: the election of Pope Leo XIV on May 8, 2025. Just after his acceptance, before the world knew his name, he bowed his head in silent prayer—a gesture of humility, awe, and surrender. This is the precise instant portrayed here, rendered in luminous, earth-toned layers that reflect both the weight of the papal office and the intimacy of personal prayer.
As he would soon proclaim in his inaugural homily: “Look to Christ! Come closer to Him!” This image invites the viewer into that very turning point—a moment where the burdens of the world met the stillness of faith. It is not only a portrait of a new pope, but of a soul offering himself wholly to the service of the Church.
