The Catholic Church is sticking to its value of charity-- but not in a way one would typically expect. The Vatican has commissioned Los Angeles artist
Yuri Gevorgian to commission a painting of
Father Arcangelo Tadini, an Italian saint for working women. Gevorgian used his signature style of
cubism to capture the saint's compassionate essense, and his massive painting tells the story of Tadini, who helped set up schools for poor children and get homeless women off the streets.
Coincidentally, Gevorgian was a "starving artist," living on the streets of Los Angeles twenty years ago when he began his art career. While the artist has come a long way, having achieved international recognition throughout the past two decades, he is honored to have been commissioned to create a painting for
the Vatican, especially one that embodies a message he can relate to and one that is personal to his own experiences.
