The Judas Kiss
16" x 12" (Oil on Canvas)

“Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” (Luke 22:48)
Depicting the moment Judas Iscariot betrays the Son of Man with a kiss, the composition centres on the psychological gravity of Judas’ betrayal, capturing the intense gaze of Christ as He acknowledges the fulfilment of scripture and His imminent passion. The primary colour palette conveys deep theological narratives. Yellow symbolises Judas’ greed and betrayal, while the red and blue of Jesus' garments represent His dual nature—His earthly humanity and sacrificial blood alongside His heavenly divinity.
