The artist Marko Rupnik was very young when he entered the Society of Jesus in 1973 in Slovenia. His sketches on the walls of corridors caught the attention of an important patron who was visiting his seminary. Thanks to this, he was sent to study Art in Rome by his superiors.
To triumph in the world of art is a privilege that few reach. Rupnik has accomplished that and more. His first great work, a mosaic of 600 square meters for the Redemptoris Mater Chapel in Vatican City, was commissioned by Pope John Paul II. Rupnik proposed to realize the work with a very distinct style.
