"Saint Jerome Writing", oil painting, part 2, finished work.

Here is a personal interpretation of a Caravaggio's "Saint Jerome Writing" in surf culture vision.
How is important for surfers the board that they give so much pleasure? It's almost a religion?
    For sure for many is a "passion", in the christian sense of the word.
Surfer talking about surfboards how much time we can't imagine,
that object could became a spiritual tool that leads to different dimension. 

Simple objects from contemporary life and typical icon tools in surf culture like an old Skill100 planer is been put as a symbolic skull "memento mori" taken from classical iconography format  figurative painting oil on canvas based from Caravaggio's "Saint Jerome Writing" transposed in surf culture imagination. Rather than the Bible, measures in the  surfboard order form, needs to be transcribed in the new shaped deck.  

Finally here the finished work.
