14 Deadly Sins — Original Collage Artwork
By The Found Artist
Encased in a 13 x 11 inch vintage golden frame gifted to The Found Artist by world-renowned magician Criss Angel, 14 Deadly Sins is a deeply symbolic and historically layered original collage that explores the emotional and psychological forces that shape the human experience.
This one-of-a-kind piece was meticulously constructed using fragments from rare vintage peer-reviewed history books, modern magazines, vintage NASA brochures, vintage geographical texts, and religious literature—each element carefully selected to bridge the past, present, science, faith, and human consciousness. The materials themselves carry their own timelines, repurposed to tell a new story about temptation, emotional weight, and spiritual awakening.
Sealed behind glass and assembled with premium archival glue, the artwork required over 14 hours of intentional creation, reflecting both precision and emotional investment. Every placement, texture, and layer contributes to a larger narrative—representing the hidden emotional states often left unspoken: shame, guilt, fear, anger, envy, grief, and the internal battles that define the modern human condition.
The vintage golden frame, once owned and gifted by Criss Angel, adds a layer of mystique and historical significance, symbolizing transformation—turning pain into power, and emotion into art.
