FIGURATIVE

George Anastasiadis | "Memento Mori", 2022 Original Art. Faber Castell watercolors on canvas. 45 x 35 cm. Signed. "Memento Mori" ( in Latin ) is an artistic or symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of Death. Here, the crystal ball symbolizes the soul with the shadow underneath it, taking the form of a well-paved road that has reached its end. The Light above the small well represents the transition, the open window, the Heaven represents the feeling of "Justice," and the dark well means eternal oblivion. I would like to repost something from the net that "popped" in my face "accidentally" some hours after I finished this artwork..." -George Anastasiadis
