Artwork description
The artwork is inspired by Homer’s Odyssey and represents the Cyclops Polyphemus. In the painting predominate the cold shades of gray and somber tones that characterize the surreal landscape in the background. The painting is born as a metaphorical representation of recent political events, prefiguring itself as an obscure omen. The figure of the cyclops symbolizes the advent of a new looming totalitarianism.
