David Rogers

Acrylic on canvas — 100 cm × 200 cm

David Rogers is where ancient scripture meets modern pop culture. The stance of the figure recalls Michelangelo’s marble masterpiece, but its roots go deeper — to the biblical David, the shepherd boy who faced Goliath with nothing but faith and a sling. That moment of courage against impossible odds has echoed across millennia as a universal symbol of resilience.

Steve Rogers — Captain America — a frail young man transformed into a modern hero, yet whose true strength lies not in muscle, but in his unwavering willingness to stand up to giants, literal or symbolic.

In David Rogers, these two archetypes are fused through my Giumetric style. Intersecting lines and planes form the figure’s geometry, while the palette speaks in Steve Rogers’ colours: red, white, and blue, precisely mapped onto the composition as if drawn from his iconic uniform.

The result is a dialogue across centuries — between marble and comic panel, scripture and pop culture. Here, David and Steve inhabit the same body. Their shared essence is timeless: the underdog who dares to face the giant.

Merging the biblical David with Steve Rogers is more than a visual pun — it’s a meditation on how cultures construct their heroes. David’s story emerges from an ancient world where faith, moral conviction, and personal courage defined the champion.

Steve Rogers belongs to a modern mythology where science, technology, and patriotic duty forge the hero. By bringing them together, David Rogers reveals that heroism is a constant across time, only reframed to suit the values and fears of each era.

The geometry acts as a unifying language, stripping away historical detail so that we see the enduring archetype beneath: a lone figure standing before overwhelming power, ready to act not because he is strong, but because he chooses to face the fight.
