La Sagrada Papel

Arthur Lopez

The majority of my work is portraying saints in a modern way. Each of the works presented are hand carved and painted wood with natural and water based pigments. "La Sagrada Papel" (The Sacred Paper) is about the crazy reaction to people hoarding of toilet paper early on in the pandemic making this commodity a sacred essential.
