\"surrealism,<\/a>The Defence<\/strong><\/p>\n

2014, 22\u201d x 28\u201d\u00a0(commissioned)<\/p>\n

There are two main themes in this painting.
\nFirst, the queen is being attacked by the knight, but she has something that is defending her, symbolized by a dog-like creature swallowing the sword.
\nThis defender can be interpreted in any suitable way, depending on different believes and\/or knowledge (example: miracle, guardian angel, circumstance, etc.)
\nSecondly, a strong symbol in the painting is the hand pushing the white pawn to fight the black officer. For me personally it has a great meaning, it reminds me that in any conflict there is no simple right or wrong, nothing is black or white as they say. More often than not we don’t see real reasons behind certain events.<\/p>\n
