The Seven Deadly Sins

The Seven Deadly Sins consist of;

• Lust
• Gluttony
Greed
• Sloth
• Wrath
• Envy
• Pride

All of of these sins humanity beholds - adaptions of these sins occurring all the time. I like that individuals are re-creating the sins because these sins can be anything, dependent on the eye of the beholder. 

What the artist portrays within the images all comes down to their specific interests; my Seven Deadly Sins blog is on imagery and makeup. Personally I like the way in which a woman can be portrayed through the use of creativity because I believe emotion can be shown better through imagery - however that is for you to decide..

..and with that I shall leave you with a fact on the sins:

"Beginning in the early 14th century, the popularity of the seven deadly sins as a theme among European artists of the time eventually helped to ingrain them in many areas of Catholic culture and Catholic consciousness in general throughout the world. One means of such ingraining was the creation of the mnemonic "SALIGIA" based on the first letters in Latin of the seven deadly sins: Superbia, Avaritia,Luxuria, Invidia, Gula, Ira, Acedia."
