Owen Cyclops translates medieval theological texts into digital illustrations through his decade-long visual interpretation of Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologica. Working in Procreate, he creates manuscript-style artwork that adapts scholastic philosophy into architectural and decorative forms inspired by Gothic cathedral design. His portfolio encompasses over 3,000 individual pieces that systematically visualize the arguments and concepts from Aquinas's seminal work. The project manifests as both a published book and a series of fine art prints, combining medieval manuscript illumination techniques with contemporary digital tools. His illustrations incorporate theological propositions directly into architectural imagery, following the medieval tradition of embedding philosophical concepts in sacred spaces. Each piece maintains historical accuracy while establishing visual systems to represent complex philosophical arguments. The work synthesizes research across medieval art history, scholastic theology, and architectural symbolism into cohesive visual narratives. His methodology draws from primary source manuscripts, Gothic architectural principles, and systematic theology to create historically-informed interpretations. The completed collection provides a comprehensive visual companion to one of Western philosophy's foundational texts.
