F.N. Souza (Crucifixion) (1924-2002)

This emotionally charged crucifixion scene by F. N. Souza reflects the artist’s lifelong engagement with Christian iconography, often interpreted through a raw and expressionist lens. The figure of Christ is depicted with exaggerated anatomical structure and linear definition, emphasising suffering and human vulnerability rather than idealised divinity.

Souza’s harsh lines, distorted faces, and intense colour contrasts heighten the emotional drama of the scene. The surrounding figures, rendered with mask-like expressions, reinforce the psychological tension and existential themes that frequently appear in his work. This painting exemplifies Souza’s ability to reinterpret traditional religious imagery through a modern, often confrontational visual language.
