THe leviathan
"The Leviathan"
In the vastness of the canvas, the series "The Leviathan" emerges as a revelation, a manifestation of divine power and human fragility converging in a shared space. These works, drawn solely with smoke, are not mere depictions of explosions; they are tangible representations of invisible forces shaping our reality.
The choice of smoke as a medium, manipulated with such precision and skill that the images achieve almost photographic quality, reflects the dualism of creation and destruction. It is ephemeral yet imposing, delicate yet devastating. The silhouettes and patterns formed with the tongues of smoke invoke biblical and prophetic episodes, uniting times and eras in a discourse that challenges the linearity of time.
Beyond aesthetics, "The Leviathan" is a bold commentary on global politics and the hidden forces that govern it. Like the mythical biblical monster, this series serves as a reminder of the colossal entities operating behind the curtains, whose movements create waves of smoke resonating worldwide.
It is a series of drawings that seeks to evoke introspection and questioning. In each wisp of smoke, in every projected shadow, we are invited to reflect on the world around us and the true intentions hidden behind the veils of reality.
