Discover more about the cultural significance of San Sebastiano and the sacred sites tied to his legacy in this blog post by Yana Evans.

A reverent study of form, martyrdom, and transcendence, San Sebastian is Yana Evans’ master copy pencil drawing after the celebrated Italian painter Roberto Ferri. Known for his baroque-inspired visions and technical virtuosity, Ferri draws lineage from Caravaggio and classical academic masters. In this homage, Evans captures not only the anatomical precision but the spiritual weight of Ferri’s original.

San Sebastiano, a Roman soldier turned Christian martyr, has long symbolized resilience in suffering and the beauty of unwavering faith. Traditionally depicted pierced by arrows, this interpretation leans into emotional subtlety: his body twists in grace, eyes veiled, while lilies – symbols of purity and resurrection – emerge from his wounds. Their bloom evokes the paradox of pain birthing beauty.

Executed in graphite and white chalk on warm-toned paper, the piece exemplifies academic drawing traditions. Highlights delicately model the musculature, while shadows recede into quiet depths. This artwork stands not only as a technical achievement but also as a deeply moving portrayal of sacred endurance.

For collectors, this drawing is a rare opportunity to own a classically grounded figure study rendered with contemporary sensitivity. It appeals to admirers of Roberto Ferri, figurative realism, and religious iconography, while also showcasing the distinctive hand of emerging artist Yana Evans.

Commission inquiries are welcomed. Evans accepts custom orders in academic, symbolic, religious and figurative styles.
