“Damocles’ Sword” draws from the ancient Greek myth — that haunting image of a blade suspended by a single thread, a reminder of the fragility beneath power and calm. This piece captures that quiet dread, the sense that something unseen always lingers overhead. Created during a period of transition, it marks the beginning of my more cinematic approach to painting — when each image became a still frame from an unwritten film. The composition is minimal but charged, a study in tension and restraint — that feeling of waiting for the inevitable.
