A massive traditional painting, made up of four wooden panels- each 5’ by 5 feet, making it 5x20 feet in size.
(1.5 by 6 meters)

This work was done with a mix of: acrylic paint, charcoal, marker, and chalk.

This piece was completed in 3 months with the help of my apprentice Milena C.

Bottom photo: showing the actual size of one panel (in comparison with yours truly)
(This is now also my sexy-time desktop... feel free to crop and use as yours if you wish)


Oh, and if you are or have been to Toronto- you can recognize some of its architecture in the top left panel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This project is a recollection of civilization’s greatness and its plausible downfall due to the pitfall of the double edged sword theorem that is technology.

On one side we created great cities, raised skyscrapers to the heavens, chased away the darkness of the night with electricity and have lengthened, greatly simplified and improved human life, curing countless deceases, saving lives, exploring the micro and the macro, reaching beyond borders of our planet and into space.

And on another side- we have the atomic power of war to flatten the landscape into an infertile desert, as shown practically in the Chernobyl incident; we have numerously blackened the ocean with oil spills, scorched the earth in wars, raised the global temperature, clogged the sky with poisonous air pollutants, and over-populated our species to the point where many thousands starve everyday lacking food and shelter.
