Octavio is an artist who paints illusions in which a scene is set up to create the shapes and outlines of a face. Each of Octavio's illusion paintings has a cunning sense. He has created several illusion portraits of Jesus Christ and Mary, depicting these religious figures in ways that other artists do not. His attraction with religion isn’t limited to Christianity; Octavio has also painted illusions of Buddha and Shiva.

This is the picture that has caught my eye. This painting is called "Calvary".

# data[].attributes.body
This is the most incredible painting ever done of Jesus Christ.  It is painted in a contemporary metamorphic style which means that what you see from a distance actually changes as you look more closely.  From afar, at first you will only see the face of Christ, but as you get closer, the crucifixion of Jesus on the cross will appear.  There are many hidden images and much symbolism in this extraordinary piece of art.

The image of Christ was used in many different ways. Christ's face is heavy with sorrow as he takes on the sins of the world and makes his incredible sacrifice on the cross.

The 3 eyes in the upper center of the picture represents the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirt. The right eye corresponds to the Holy Ghost, it is surrounded with doves symbolizing its peace and love.

Octavio appears in the lower right of his painting and imitate St. John as well as all humanity. This shows the benefits from the forgiveness bought by Christ's sacrifices and glories in the hope that this brings.

The cloth pressed to Christ shows Veronica's face crying in anguish for the pain that Christ had to endure on the cross.

This task connects with the Catholic Graduate Expectation because the pictures and artists believe in Christ and do an excellent job at demonstrating their God-given potential through their art. These abstract images creates new ideas in in of the common good. In many of Octavio's paintings he symbolizes forgiveness and compassion for society.
