About this artwork
“I’m interested in transitions: the moment when control becomes power – and power becomes chaos.”
Amidst raging water, between myth and storm, rears Bucephalus – the legendary horse of Alexander the Great. In this depiction, he is more than a companion: he is a symbol of the raw energy of departure, overcoming, and inner struggle.
The scene is dramatic: waves pile up like time, the animal stands alone against the elements. Its gaze is full of… restlessness, its flesh full of power. This horse is not controlled—it is control. It embodies what it means to channel strength before it destroys.
The work does not represent a glorification of antiquity—rather, it is an energetic allegory: of power, of fear, of the limitations of humanity. The shell surrounding his hooves contains the only gentleness—a poetic counterweight to the heroic gesture.
