Artwork story

This piece explores fundamental truths in human existence. The drawing depicts the dual forces individuals face at the beginning of their life journey: a snake, symbolizing the evil spirit, and a robed figure with a dove, representing the Holy Spirit. Humanity is embodied by the approaching figures, each influenced by these opposing powers. The choice of whom to submit one's will to shapes one's path, highlighting that this yielding is an ongoing process rather than a singular decision.

This body of work is inspired by a commitment to assist humanity in addressing the challenges we face daily. I aim to provoke thought and encourage dialogue through my art, exploring themes that resonate with contemporary issues. Each piece reflects my perspective on societal problems, inviting viewers to engage with the complexities of our shared experiences. By presenting these ideas visually, I hope to foster a deeper understanding and inspire collective action. My intention is to create a space for reflection and conversation, ultimately contributing to a greater awareness of the issues that affect us all.
