About the art
Artist statement
Assuming a fighting position, these warriors of another galaxy mean business. Are they fighting, protecting or just menacing? The artist does not answer that question but lets us contemplate the presence of a higher force, a spirit or a threat that lurks in the darkness, just outside of the canvas. This force of the universe is the ultimate power and the ultimate downfall of humanity. Hence, the artist is suggesting a religious concept as a backbone to the entire structure of humanity. A sort of scaffolding on which all the rest is built.
