Yoan Alba
Cycle of the Ancients
"Cycle of the Ancients" is an oil on canvas art work that fuses surreal elements with an earthy background. At the top of the painting, a lake with a boat represents the beginning of the cycle, while at the bottom, another lake with a sarcophagus symbolizes the end. The central character, highlighted by the horns on him, embodies power and the mysterious connection with the divine. The pyramids on different levels of the painting suggest the presence of ancient civilizations and knowledge lost in time. The circular arrangement of the composition reinforces the idea of an eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth in a surreal universe.
