Description
A lifelong devotee of the Virgin Mary, Zack Zublena presents one of his most profound works to date: Mother Mary in Gold — a sacred fine art photograph by the internationally recognized artist. This piece evokes the Annunciation, where Archangel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would conceive the Son of God. Gabriel’s presence is symbolized in the subtle upper-right detail, a celestial overlay reminding us of the mystery of divine encounter.
Mary is portrayed nude not as an act of provocation, but as an artistic return to her purest state of existence — as she first came into the world, before robes, symbols, or tradition clothed her. Painted in shimmering gold, her figure radiates serenity, compassion, and divine strength. A golden halo illuminates her presence, and the scene becomes a meditation on the mystery of God choosing the humble and pure to carry His light.
As Zack explains in his book The Sacred Power of Gold (available on Amazon where he talks about Jesus and how he came to save his life in person), gold has always represented incorruptibility, divine light, and the highest spiritual frequency. Here, gold transforms Mary’s body into a vessel of transcendence, bridging the human and the divine.
This modern vision resonates with audiences of The Chosen, the acclaimed TV series on the life of Jesus. Just as the show reimagines familiar biblical stories for a new generation, Zack’s Annunciation reinterprets Marian iconography in a way that feels both timeless and contemporary. The intent is not to shock, but to reveal Mary’s divine femininity with purity, humility, and courage — qualities that continue to inspire millions today.
The work exists in three symbolic versions, each tied to Marian tradition:
🌸 Pink Version: Symbol of divine love, maternal tenderness, and mercy. It echoes the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the joy of salvation.
🔵 Blue Version: Eternal Marian color, symbolizing heaven, purity, and spiritual protection. It recalls her traditional role as Queen of Heaven in Christian art.
✨ Gold Version: Gold as divine light, resurrection, and eternal glory. It reflects Christ’s triumph and Mary’s sanctity as the vessel of divine light.
This photograph is not mere decor, but a devotional image — an invocation of ultimate protection. Its power deepens when paired with the “five stones” of Medjugorje (rosary, Mass, confession, fasting, Scripture). Zack himself has visited Medjugorje in 2006, 2014, and 2025, each time profoundly transformed by Mary’s guidance and timing, which shaped his artistic and spiritual path.
✨ Sacred Gifts Included
Each print is shipped with blessed Miraculous Medals from the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, 140 Rue du Bac, Paris. Baptized by Parisians in the 19th century as the “Miraculous Medal,” it is known for bringing healings and graces. Zack recommends wearing one and sharing the others with loved ones, extending Mary’s presence beyond the artwork itself.
To strengthen this devotion, Zack encourages adding the nine choirs of angels to the rosary, invoking the full celestial hierarchy under Mary, Queen of Angels.
This image belongs to Zack Zublena’s Holy Collection, alongside Archangel Michael, the Holy Spirit, the Pilgrim, and the Worshipper. It is cherished by collectors seeking sacred beauty, healing presence, and contemporary spiritual fine art.
