Mercedes Idol – Anti-Icon Painting | Original Mixed Media Religious Critique

"You shall not make for yourself a graven image..."
But we have.
With chrome instead of light. With logos instead of haloes.
We kneel before machines.

This original anti-icon artwork reimagines religious iconography through the lens of modern idolatry. At the center is not a savior — but a Mercedes, enthroned and divine, bearing the false promise of speed, power, and status. The child it holds is no holy infant, but a broken hybrid of metal and absence — a sacrifice to our belief in progress.

This is not reverence. This is ritualized consumption.
A machine becomes a god. And the soul goes silent.

"The computer doesn’t know everything.
The computer doesn’t know when the heart will break."
