In this work, I wanted to explore the intensity of emotions hidden in the act of prayer, combining symbolic power and vivid colors inspired by pop art. The serpent envelops and seduces. It represents free sexuality, an all-consuming fire, transformation, and renewal. Each pen stroke and acrylic shading reveals inner tension and awareness; the black lines give volume to the form, creating an intriguing visual dialogue that brings energy and reflection… to any space. Work created on 300-gram Canson paper. Made entirely using UNIPOSCA markers, blended with the fingers and inked with a pen and black marker. 40 x 50 cm. Year 2026. Signed on front and back.
