A few days ago, Michał Szpak boasted on social media about the effects of cooperation with Krzysztof Powąka, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. The musician posed for a painting that the artist was working on, but until the last moment he did not know what it would finally look like. “Michał didn’t know what would be created until the very end, the painting form changed during the conceptual phase… Until it finally got the right form, constructed by me so that it was on the borderline… And it aroused emotions,” the painter said in a shared post on Instagram .
An image that arouses controversy. The priest comments on the work of Krzysztof Powalika
The work presented by the artist aroused mixed feelings among Internet users. While some believed that it made the recipient reflect because of its ambiguity, others saw it as blasphemy. So what does Krzysztof Powąko’s painting represent? The artist immortalized the image of Michał Szpak with a crown of thorns on his head and hands arranged in a manner similar to that seen in many works depicting Jesus.
“Paintings like this are a profanation of religious feelings. You cannot do certain things for the sake of art, because they may be perceived differently. The author can explain that he wanted to pay honor and glory to Jesus. In that case, I advise you to pray the rosary or the Divine Mercy Chaplet , because it is worship. You can resemble yourself, but not dress up as Christ,” the priest explained in an interview with ShowNews.pl.
