From the artist's words.
The visual impact is intense and striking, immediately conjuring up an image of a snake in all its force and impetus.
Each element features a wide range of rich material effects designed to engage the observer on multiple levels. Initially, it conveys a tangible, real and physical sensation of one of the animals most contemplated by human beings.
The colours are varied and highly saturated yet realistic, contrasting with the dark black component that simultaneously unifies and envelops the various colours and elements. This evokes a primordial abyss of strength and power in the viewer's subconscious, while conferring an aura of magic and mystery.
The image leaves no room for fluctuation or philosophical digression. Through its geometrically perfect elements, it exemplifies and embodies the defining characteristics of the snake. This animal was portrayed alongside deities by all the ancient civilisations of the planet, which, despite their geographical distance, were united by a single great global civilisation. They gave the snake symbolic, esoteric and even ritual significance, fascinating individuals and influencing the masses. This has fed the veil of mystery surrounding the snake for thousands of years, right up to the present day.
