This striking large-scale painting, Gnothi Seauton (Greek for "Know Thyself"), merges classical religious iconography with contemporary symbolism. Rich in allegory, the composition centers on a crucifixion scene framed by a stained-glass motif, evoking the sacred yet layered with modern and philosophical introspections. The inclusion of gold leaf enhances the work’s luminosity, while the use of wax introduces a tactile depth.
The juxtaposition of… figures—a pleading woman, a contemplative nude, and celestial elements—suggests themes of faith, self-awareness, and the duality of spiritual and earthly existence. The bleeding cross, suspended texts, and fragmented objects further intensify the narrative, inviting deep contemplation.
A compelling piece for collectors drawn to thought-provoking, layered compositions that challenge and recontextualize traditional religious imagery. This work commands attention, making it a powerful focal point in any serious collection.

Robert Walker
United Kingdom
Born in Scotland, Robert Walker utilizes oil paints on canvas to craft his masterpieces. His style, described as 'geo-figurative,' employs abstract expressionist techniques in conjunction with traditional verdaccio for flesh tones. His compositions, a blend of organic and geometric forms, stimulate viewers into partaking in the narrative of his subjects, evoking a deep understanding of the figure's semiotics. Enjoying also word play and quirk-created moments he also employs narratives within a still life and landscape environment, often with a heart theme to express his love for others and life.
