Sekhmet 2021
Canvas, acrylic, paper.
This work predetermined my new cycle of paintings dedicated to a woman. Sekhmet is the Egyptian goddess of rage, who was originally the patroness of femininity and love Hathor. I depicted her militant part. In my picture, she appears in front of a viewer, like a woman who takes lives. This image coincided with the beginning of the war in Ukraine. The gaze of the goddess is directed into the distance, as if she calculates her enemies with the help of a solar disk. Orderly chaos, destruction, tension that has engulfed our world are concentrated in this work. The picture is painted with acrylic on a canvas.
