Artwork description

Existe una extensa cantidad de elementos que conectan a Cuenca de Los Andes con varias ciudades de Europa, entre ellos, su fe y devoción a la Iglesia católica introducida por España. La serie pertenece a la exposición CUENCA, LA PEQUEÑA ROMA realizada en el Centro Cultural Ecuatoriano de Madrid.

La cruz es el principal símbolo del cristianismo. La palabra 'cruz' proviene del verbo latino 'cruciare', que significa 'crucificar' o 'torturar'. Y la palabra 'crucifijo' proviene del término latino 'crucifixum', que es el participio del verbo latino 'crucifigere', que significa 'fijar en la cruz'.

La forma católica de la cruz es una línea vertical atravesada por otra línea horizontal. A esta cruz se la conoce como 'cruz latina'. Su origen se refiere al método de ejecución que se utilizó con Jesucristo. Algunas interpretaciones místicas sugieren que la porción vertical representa la divinidad de Jesús, mientras que la horizontal representa su humanidad.
