Influenced by the works of Caravaggio, this piece combines the techniques of the old masters and applies them to the present day. This series appeals to the subconscious—the things we suppress. People have fears but also desires. Fear implies illness, phobias, and death, but also fear of the supernatural or things we do not know. The devil, for example. Demons.

They are a symbol of all the dark things that we avoid in everyday life. We push them aside. We focus on what needs to be done. At the same time, we have a concrete idea of religion, faith, or God. Yet we humans would have less fear if we faced it. And that´s the approach of these paintings. That`s simply what they tell us: Someone who struggles looks like this.

The white symbol represents "SITRI / BITRU", which translates to "The Great Arch-Prince of Hell".
