About the artwork

The digital artwork *St. Agathe, Toulouse* captures a hushed, sacred scene in a corner of the Saint-Sernin basilica. At the centre of the sculpture is a modest cabinet, partly outside the frame, of which only the top is visible. The cabinet acts as a pedestal for an impressive bust of Saint Agatha, executed in an austere, classical style. The sculpture shows a woman's face with serene, devout features; her eyes are turned upwards in silent supplication or heavenly contemplation. At the bottom of the sculpture is the inscription in simple capitals: *St. Agathe*, which serves as a visual anchor within the composition.

The background forms a grey wall, discreetly marked with horizontal, darker strips reminiscent of old stone articulation or moisture traces, subtly recalling the historical layering of the church interior. A shadow is cast on the wall - the contours of the bust fade gently against the background, enhancing the sacred atmosphere of the whole. The absence of direct context or human presence fully emphasises the sculpture and its quiet power. The work plays with light, matter and emptiness, evoking a sense of subdued devotion and timelessness.

This digital rendering transcends simple registration: it is a composition that translates the contemplative power of religious art into a contemporary, almost minimalist visual language. *St. Agathe, Toulouse* invites stillness and reflection, a digital icon in a world full of movement.
