That's damn sweet - Goya's still one of my favourites.
Remember that Europe has plenty of history and you can
readily afford to dress the UA concepts up in
old-school mythology. Catholic saint imagery would
glove over the Invisible Clergy rather well. And
medieval symbolist art is all about composing
non-sensical but realistic paintings built up of
juxtaposing heavily symbolised objects in the
painting. There was so many different intepretations
for these symbols that most of the meaning has long
since been lost.

Dress them up with that old-school goodness. Part of
the Postmodern movement is exactly this - redressing
classical elements in current situations. The best
recognisable image for this is Michelangelo's David
wearing sunglasses and a Speedo.

Again don't try to hard; a bitter hermit in the USA
would be considered a sacred man, an achorite, by his
local community. Do not feel threatened by what's in
the UA rulebook; treat it like clay to make your own
works of gaming art.
You have a goldmine of resources to plunder. Don't be
shy, pig out.
The Goya stuff is cool, though.
Cheers,
Chris.
