Saint Blessing of Healing Child n.d.

Simone Barabbino's drawing, Saint Blessing of Healing Child, captures a scene with a saint blessing a child, all rendered in delicate pencil strokes. The composition is carefully arranged, drawing us into the emotional core of the event. Notice how Barabbino uses light and shadow to define the figures, creating depth and emphasizing the solemnity of the moment. The architectural elements in the background provide a structural framework, yet the soft lines keep the focus on the interaction between the saint, the child, and the surrounding figures. The drawing challenges conventional notions of perfection. Instead, Barabbino captures a raw, emotional truth through his expressive linework. The sketch-like quality adds to the immediacy, inviting us to contemplate themes of faith, healing, and human connection. The drawing offers a space for personal reflection and re-evaluation of values.
