Some reflections after making this drawing:
Historically artists have tried to bridge the distance between 'now' and 'infinity' and addressing the existential questions in life. When exploring these subjects religion is always there; it is so much part of the culture that it can not be avoided. And as such the artist somehow needs to create his of her position towards religion. It can be to a) admire and using it as leading the way, b) explore looking at what religion means in certain contexts, c) ridicule from it and in some way attacking how religion creates an untrue image of the world, and d) ignore or focus temporarily on other subjects.
In the end, whenever going deeper into concepts and going deeper in the artists reflections existential questions appear; even if it was only the Freudian drive of the artist to overcome death by leaving traces of his/her art works as a heritage.
