Art and Religion

I found this charcoal drawing of a nun by Justin Kautz which I though was really inspiring. The cross is upside down which has some relation to the devil and Satanism. The dark eyes are really expressive and an aspect which I want to take into my own styling for makeup. There seems to be a fascination with nuns being rebellious and sexual figures.
 
Although my character isn't a nun, I wanted to look into people's perspectives of Holy figures...

Churches commonly have stained glass windows with images and paintings of the lord, the cross or religious stories on them... This use of popping colour can be incorporated into my styling of the characters whether it be in makeup, hair and/or their clothing.
