Slasky’s “Martirio Cosmico ( Last One )” is a hand-signed, limited-edition giclée print, numbered 4/5 and measuring 40 × 60 cm.
Description from the seller
The figure of Saint Sebastian, emblem of sacrifice and resilience, is transposed into a science-fiction dimension. The astronaut, suspended in the pose made famous by Simon Vouet, does not wear the American flag but an alternative banner: three arrows instead of stars, a historic antifascist symbol. The sky, backdrop of new global tensions, no longer welcomes angels but two looming planets and a mysterious UFO, ambiguous presences that question humanity about its own fate. The work thus becomes a reinterpretation of the state of affairs in the world: a secular altar that unites sacred iconography, space imagery, and political memory, inviting reflection on the fragility of humans facing powers greater, both earthly and cosmic.
