Original artwork description:

Ignace is part of Mystiques serie. Ignace is a free representation of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Ignatius is depicted in tears, the saint indeed possessed the “gift of tears”. In Christian thought this gift is the capacity of a spirit to empathize with its conscience, others and the divine. Tears manifest the divine presence felt. In this representation of Saint Ignatius the painter gives a poetic, melancholic vision of human fragility. Whether laughing or sad, tears accompany us.
