Conversion of Saint Paul - acrylic painting by roberto tagliazucchi

“Conversion of Saint Paul” by Tagliazucchi is a work that interprets the famous biblical episode through a strong chromatic and symbolic contrast. The composition is divided into two main parts: on the left, a dark area dominated by black and gray tones, evoking industrialization and pollution, while on the right, a warm golden light envelops the scene, symbolizing divine revelation and spiritual transformation. The diagonal line cutting across the painting represents the lightning of conversion, a beam of light that pierces through the darkness and leads toward the luminous realm of faith. The use of stylized elements, with landscape and symbolic references, helps create a metaphysical, almost surreal atmosphere.
