It took 15 years for Álvaro Blanco and his team to create the first hyper-realistic sculpture of Jesus and now, tourists and residents of Spain who would like to get an in-depth view of the passion of Christ can experience that from its exhibit in Gaudix Cathedral in Granada.
The studies on the Shroud on which the sculpture was based include information on the position of the body, measurements, as well as blood and wounds. Dubbed"The Mystery Man," the artwork is “a figure as real as possible to what is represented on the Shroud of Turin," Blanco said in a 2022 interview with"We are before a work made with the hyperrealist technique in which all the details that appear in the Shroud have been introduced.
Latex and silicone were used for The Mystery Man, which weighs 165 pounds. Human hair was used all over the body, from the eyelashes and eyebrows down to the feet. The skin brought realism into play with every pore, freckle, and tearing wound that resulted from Christ's scourging, as well as those on the hands and feet from his crucifixion.
