This makes me like Pope Leo a little more. Rupnik is pervęrted and his artwork is weird!

That reminds me of a movie where the woman paints these like really big faces with really big eyes. She makes her people look like aliens lol.

We were supposed to paint self-portraits in High School Art Class and mine turned out looking as you describe. I looked like an alien! I was gong to hang it up on our barn, which might have freaked out the Amish. But, I have heard theories that the Amish might be aliens and why cows are sometimes depicted as being adducted by space-ships.
