About this artwork
As the title suggests, the scene takes place at night, underscoring the hidden nature of this relentless greed. The absence of daylight adds an air of secrecy and surreality as if the desire for more has taken on a nocturnal life.
The figures in the artwork are both ethereal and mechanical, reflecting the juxtaposition of humanity's aspirations and its increasingly mechanized nature.
"Dissection at Night" is a profound commentary on the human condition,… inviting viewers to contemplate the balance between ambition and responsibility, acquisition and preservation. The artwork's grand scale and intricacy draw viewers into its world, encouraging them to confront the unchecked desire for more that often goes unnoticed in the modern pursuit of success. In a society where the purpose of material gain can overshadow our connection to the world around us, this mural-sized artwork is a stark reminder of the importance of balance and empathy in our relentless quest for more.

Viktoria Ganhao was born in India and resides in Portugal and has exhibited her paintings nationally, as well as in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Switzerland. Her work, which merges reality and imagination, interweaves elements that she hopes allow for the psychological interpretation and evolution for the viewer. Through this, she hopes the audience becomes the creator as much as the artist. Ganhao’s abstract works are realized through acrylic on canvas.
