Title: The Temptation of the Hermit
This artwork reimagines the medieval theme of spiritual struggle in a contemporary, symbolic form. Surrounded by dark creatures and shadows, the hermit resists the forces of temptation and fear. Above him, a radiant Christ figure appears in a cruciform vision, accompanied by white birds — symbols of hope, purity, and divine guidance.
The piece contrasts chaos and serenity, darkness and faith — capturing a moment of inner battle that transcends time and religion. The gold background evokes sacred icons, while naïve proportions and vivid colors bring raw emotional power.
