Hyperrealistic art makes an impact and allows us to have an emotional connection. Nowadays with so many high quality images, children are difficult to impress. Jesus is the light that guides you in the darkness. I want to contribute with the art I make and put it at the service of faith so that more people can become interested in the path of Jesus, so that new generations know him more and people who have lost their way can meet him again.

He was “always taking into account that the body and other features look longer than normal because the sheet was in contact with indentations and protrusions of the body,” Walt clarified. It’s the source from which Walt was able to obtain information such as Jesus’ height, hair length, beard shape, and so on. The Shroud of Turin thus became the main source of Walt’s hyperrealistic historical reconstruction.
