This is Zack Zublena’s personal take on Archangel Michael, an archangel who has been profoundly present in his own spiritual journey and daily life.
This fine art photograph by Zack Zublena honors Archangel Michael, the celestial protector and defender of light in Catholic tradition. Through a fusion of gold-painted human form, angelic wings, and Renaissance-inspired composition, the image embodies timeless themes of courage, divine justice, and sacred protection.
At the center of the work lies a dramatic vision: a woman, torn open in her struggle, suspended between tragedy and redemption. Her body symbolizes the human soul fractured by suffering, temptation, and the weight of difficult choices. In this moment of vulnerability, Archangel Michael descends — not as myth, but as living presence — to shield, to guide, and to restore her path toward light.
The composition echoes centuries of Catholic iconography while bringing a bold, contemporary sensibility. The golden wing at the very forefront of the scene draws the viewer in, symbolizing Michael’s protective shield before all else — a barrier of divine strength. Michael’s golden form radiates both compassion and authority, while the wings envelop the figures with celestial energy. The interplay of sacred symbolism and golden body painting makes this work both spiritual and avant-garde, reverent yet modern.
Zack’s work resonates strongly with the global audience of The Chosen — the acclaimed TV series on the life of Jesus, starring Jonathan Roumie as Christ. Just as the series reawakens ancient stories with contemporary power, this artwork reimagines Michael not as distant mythology but as living, breathing presence. For many collectors who follow The Chosen, this piece feels like an extension of the same spiritual language: intimate, cinematic, and profoundly moving.
As Zack explores in his bookThe Sacred Power of Gold (available on Amazon, where he explains how Jesus saved his life during a near-death experience - and this is not a TV show, it really happened), gold carries a sacred frequency across cultures: incorruptibility, divine light, and eternal presence. In this piece, gold becomes Michael’s aura — his shield and radiance, a reminder that protection often comes not through violence, but through unseen angelic forms that surround us with invisible grace.
Prayer to the Archangel Saint Michael the Protector:
“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.”
Ideal for Catholic collectors, sacred spaces, meditation rooms, luxury villas, and modern chapels, this artwork is more than wall decor — it is a visual prayer, a protective presence that radiates peace, strength, and divine remembrance.
Zack Zublena’s Italian heritage (his family name originating from Zubiena, near Venice, home of the Museo dell’Oro) imbues this piece with ancestral depth, bridging the devotion of Renaissance masters with a contemporary voice.
This is museum-quality Catholic fine art — created not to decorate, but to sanctify. A reminder that even in our most broken moments, Archangel Michael stands beside us, carrying us back to the light.
