García has explained that he discarded the idea of creating a recumbent Jesus Christ and decided to continue with the norm of his work, always positioned “on the most serene and enlightened side of life and things”, and has created a Christ who “looks young and beautiful. Young, as a metaphor for purity, and beautiful because, I refer to Plato, beauty and goodness are the same thing.”
Within the poster there are two very representative elements of Holy Week in Seville: the cloth of the Christ of Expiration of the Brotherhood of the Puppy and the powers of the Christ of Love.
