Celebrating a decade of dedication and creativity, artist Fernando Carpaneda unveils his magnum opus, "The Stations of the Cross." This breathtaking art installation is the culmination of ten years of meticulous work and profound artistic vision. The installation features 67 intricately carved sculptures nestled within 14 wooden boxes, each adorned with vivid depictions of Jerusalem's bustling streets. Crafted with exquisite detail, these miniature sculptures are made from Magic-Sculpt and brought to life with vibrant acrylic hues. Adding a deeply personal touch, the sculptures don garments fashioned from pieces of the artist's own clothing, while strands of hair, including some from a choir member of St. Kilian Church, contribute to their unique composition.
Fernando Carpaneda's commitment to authenticity and detail is evident in every aspect of this installation. The scenes painted within the wooden boxes transport viewers to the ancient city of Jerusalem, capturing the essence of its historical and spiritual significance. The use of personal materials imbues each piece with a sense of intimacy and connection, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on a deeper level.
Now, this awe-inspiring display finds its permanent home at The George Mercer, Jr. Memorial School of Theology in the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, nestled within the heart of Garden City. Visitors are invited to embark on a guided tour to immerse themselves in the profound narrative woven throughout "The Stations of the Cross" and to explore the majestic beauty of The Cathedral of the Incarnation. This installation not only serves as a testament to Carpaneda's artistic prowess but also as a spiritual journey for all who experience it.
