A Modern Salvator

In Salvator, Am I the One?, Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi is reimagined through the worlds of The Matrix and Rick and Morty. Neo, the “One”, takes the place of the sacred figure, while Rick appears through a portal, bringing a playful science-fiction twist to a familiar Renaissance composition.

Part of Crossover: When Pop Culture Meets the Old Masters, the painting reflects on pop culture as a modern mythology. By placing contemporary characters inside an image associated with faith and salvation, it asks how today’s stories create their own figures of belief, power and hope.
