The JCSA LoRA was trained on a collection of images of paintings by Jorge Cocco Santangelo, an Argentinian artist born in 1936. Jorge calls his style "sacro-cubism" which is an excellent label.

In developing this abstracted style Jorge avoids many of the pitfalls of religious art in the modern era. This includes the following problems that beset much Christian Art:

• the valley of cringing Christian art,

• the twin abysses of sanctimony and hypocrisy,

• the river of kitsch sentimentality,

• the wasteland of idealized fanciful projections (blue eyed-Jesus),

• the terraces of ghastly symbolic clip-art,

• the swamp of hyper-real but thematically dead imagery.

Although raised as a Catholic, Jorge and his wife became Mormons when they married in 1962. Perhaps because of his abstracted style, and his aesthetic sensibility JCSA's compositions powerfully communicate the deep themes embedded in the life and stories of Jesus. His paintings connect the aspirations of people across denominations and language barriers.
