Dictature Collage - Limited Edition of 5

This artwork is a commentary on the dynamics of power, control, and revolution. The central figure, a massive statue towering over rows of conforming individuals, represents the weight of authoritarianism and societal control. The cold, stone monument is a symbol of unyielding authority, standing as a reminder of historical figures who imposed their will on the masses. Behind the figure, a woman breaks chains, symbolizing rebellion and the pursuit of justice. She is depicted with strength and determination, a contrast to the monument’s rigidity, serving as a metaphor for the ongoing struggle between control and freedom. The red beams cutting through the composition evoke a sense of revolution, urgency, and defiance, while the scales of justice in the background hint at the fight for fairness amidst oppression. I was inspired by themes of resistance, conformity, and the delicate balance of power in society. The dark tones, geometric cityscapes, and contrasting elements are meant to create a dystopian atmosphere, reflecting the complexities of justice, leadership, and the human drive for autonomy. Through this piece, I aim to explore how societies can be shaped by both the monumental forces of authority and the unrelenting spirit of resistance.
