About this artwork
At the start of this year, as it became clear we were entering a global election cycle, a troubling realization took shape: authoritarian, right-wing forces are likely to prevail in many places. I began to search not only for a way to express this, but also for where hope might still be found—and how it could be rekindled in others.
This led me to create a painting that merges the myth of Icarus with the story of David and Goliath, reimagined in… a modern context and infused with humor. These timeless stories hold deep human truths that many seem to have forgotten. Through this contemporary retelling, I aim to revive a sense of faith, courage, and quiet rebellion.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Bomher, a surrealist painter from the Székely (Szekler) community, a small Hungarian ethnic group in Romania. His distinctive technique blends whimsical and surreal elements, striking a balance that brings comfort in discomfort. Infused with sincerity and light-hearted symbols, his paintings seek to ease societal stressors, offering a sense of healing and enrichment. On weekends, he likes to live for his second muse, music and like to make gigs as a DJ and does it passionately with vinyls.
