Curious Christian

Reflections on culture, nature, and spirituality from a Christian perspective

In this striking reinterpretation of the Last Supper, Portuguese artist Raquel Martins invites us to see the familiar scene through a modern lens. The figures of Jesus and the twelve disciples are present, yet their faces are intentionally blurred, reminding us that this table is open to all, not just those who sat there two thousand years ago.

The composition is alive with color and geometry, a tapestry of shapes that seem to pulse with movement. It’s as if the sacred moment is unfolding in real time, not frozen in history. Martins doesn’t just depict a meal, she captures the mystery of communion, the tension of betrayal, and the beauty of shared presence.
