He created a painting that can be observed by day and also by night, even without the lights clearing the interior of the church. We can see upon the plexus of the Pantocrator Christ, The Holy Face of the Saint Suaire, self iluminated by the power of the phosphorescent pigments.
 In this mural, we can see also the four evangelists represented by the winged man, winged bull, winged lion and by the eagle.
