Toti - Crucifixion

A popular iconography throughout the history of Western art, the Crucifixion has its origins in the early Christian era and has developed over the centuries, culminating in the most recent expressions of contemporary art. The traditional iconography of Jesus on the cross has countless variations, from the simplest, featuring only the crucified Christ, to the version accompanied by the "mourners," the Madonna and Saint John the Evangelist. In the Middle Ages, Crucifixion scenes began to become increasingly elaborate: thieves' crosses were added, and gradually more and more figures were added, until they became the subject of large choral scenes. It is often accompanied by symbolic elements, such as the presence of the sun and moon or Adam's skull beneath Christ's cross (which signifies the redemptive action of Christ's Passion in the face of original sin).

Toti's style can be described as material expressionism. The image is synthesized to an extreme and reduced to a set of essential lines that give it its form. These lines are created through an incision that gives the image a relief. Finally, Toti also adds a colorful element by covering the background with luminous chromatic fluorescence.

Toti is an artist who has developed his own highly personal artistic language based on material expressionism.
