About this artwork
This is Ahimsa. The symbol of non-resistance to evil. Behind this seemingly simple and weak stance lies a wise power and great courage. The courage not to answer evil with evil. Not to multiply evil. It is a conscious courage to take on evil and dissolve it within oneself. This does not stem from submission. It is a manifestation of a higher power. This is never easy.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Ernst Gallinger, a Moscow-born painter and writer now based in Nuremberg, works primarily with acrylic on canvas and wood, as well as charcoal on paper, blending his medical precision with a deep literary sensibility. His style, rooted in Aesthetic Conceptualism, features unusual forms, innovative compositions, and thought-provoking visual narratives that challenge and expand the viewer’s perception. Each artwork forges a philosophical bridge, stirring curiosity and reflection, conveying a sense of uncertainty, wonder, and the poignant mystery that lies within the search for meaning and reality.
