Within a dream, an image seized Rene: a painting that would converse with the masters. Drawing from Michelangelo’s monumental works—the Pietà, the Doni Tondo, the frescoed vault of the Sistine Chapel—he set out to reimagine the Virgin Mary with heightened realism and presence. Raised within Catholic tradition and shaped by the devotional stories his grandmother Chela told, Rene approached the subject with reverence and personal memory. The result is his own intimate, lifelike portrayal of the Virgin—refined into a distinctive sticker design for Rene Cartoons that bridges sacred heritage and contemporary urban art.
