Recreating the Face of Jesus: Insights from the Shroud of Turin After Three Years of Research

About three years ago, I became interested in the shroud of Turin, a relic whose origins are not firmly established but which some claim is the real burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. Curious to discover the person behind the shroud, I set about recreating a three dimensional image from the faint outline of the man seen on the shroud. It was a process that took over three years, using the most advanced image processing and restoration techniques available.

No matter how old the original image was—whether it was a fake from 800 years ago or the real burial cloth of Jesus from 2000 years ago—it seemed out of place in its own timeline. There were details about the shroud that suggested it was not a painting at all, but rather a photographic negative of a real person.

Is it possible that a counterfeiter in the 12th century made a negative image of Jesus that included almost holographic details? In light of the forensic findings from botany, chemistry, and pathology specialists, I set out to find out the facts by extracting all the information possible from the Turin Shroud, using state-of-the-art image enhancement methods.

It was important to me not to interpret the shroud image as a graphic artist, but to use information technology to recreate the face from the shroud itself. Could the picture on the Shroud itself prove where it came from?

I wanted to know what Jesus may have looked like, in the most pure and simple form. The process took three years.

As a result, I think I got the most accurate picture of the person whose shadowy outline we can see on the Shroud of Turin.

We have reached a turning point.
Neither the past nor the present are the exclusive domains of the recreated image from the shroud. It exists in both the past and present at once.


The resurrection of the image on the Shroud is a major event for those who believe in Jesus and the Holy Spirit. For the first time in 2000 years, Jesus is seen to speak and move as he may have done.

I’ve come to be a believer, for I’ve seen too many things I cannot explain anymore.
Let me tell you.

For instance, you see a scar on the right cheek of Jesus in the videos. When I saw this the first time, I researched if Jesus had been hit in the face. This is indeed what happened:

To my knowledge, no Sindonologist (Shroud of Turin researcher) has ever commented on this before.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
Matthew 26:67 Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him 68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”

The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Matthew 27:30 They spit on him, and took the staff, and struck him on the head again and again.

The High Priest Questions Jesus
John 18:22 … one of the officers who was standing nearby struck Jesus [in the face], saying, “Is that how You answer the high priest?”

Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified
John 19:2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face.
