About the Artwork

In this piece, humanity is constantly caught in a struggle between reason and the influences that are imposed upon it. The modern world is moving toward decisions that are increasingly masculine and suggestive, devoid of feminine gentleness, leaving the contemporary human trapped in this daily conflict. The creator of this artwork, inspired by the hidden reality in Michelangelo’s masterpiece "The Creation" and drawing from the "Empress" card in Tarot — a symbol of human authority through returning to one's reason — emphasizes the impact of suggestion and the loss of self-empowerment. In this work, the framed Empress card is hidden behind a wall in an abandoned ruin, representing the forgotten and lost self-awareness of humanity. Executed using oil on canvas and employing the vibrant Winsor colors, this magnificent scene is presented to the viewer in all its glory.
