Description of the work
Description of the work
The first time I saw the ruins in Rome, I was deeply impressed. On the ground lay thousand-year-old columns and stones of sacred and political buildings, exposed to the passage of time and the elements. Looking at the ruins and imagining what that ancient Empire must have been like, I felt overwhelmed. I had the distinct feeling that those ruins held something mystical. It was strange: along with them, on the ground, lay the beliefs of an entire people, their gods, their philosophers, and their gladiators. Those ruins were tangible evidence of a grandiose world that no longer existed.
Some time ago I dreamed of the scene depicted.
There was a moment in my life when my entire world began to fall apart, like the ruins in the background. The void left by a past that seemed insubstantial was enormous, and I felt lost, like the prisoners in the background. The sleeping lions represent a new beginning. In my work, lions often represent strength and the ability to fight to remain true to oneself.
