Description

“Spartacus” – Oil painting – Portrait of a Gorilla

“Spartacus” is part of a series of chiaroscuro animal portraits, depicted on a larger-than-life scale. Each subject is named after a famous gladiator, underscoring the strength and nobility of these creatures.

In this work, the encounter with the gorilla becomes a silent, almost solemn confrontation. The animal’s deep, human gaze immediately captures our attention, prompting inner reflection. This intense face-to-face encounter prompts us to question our own humanity in a world we share, often unequally, with other species.

The dramatic lighting, combined with the monumentality of the portrait, reinforces the gorilla’s striking presence. “Spartacus” is not just a representation of a primate: it is a symbol of dignity, quiet strength and mystery. The work invites us to question our relationship with nature, and our place within it.

Ultimately, this realistic portrait seeks to erase the boundaries between human and animal. It establishes a powerful visual and emotional connection, confronting us with our own view of living things and the ties that bind us to other living beings on this planet.
