"Meeting" 174x88 cm Oil on canvas 2025 This painting portrays a profound encounter between a meditating human and a towering, mechanized rhinoceros. The human figure, serene and grounded, sits cross-legged with a golden halo behind their head-symbolizing enlightenment, inner peace, and spiritual awareness. Opposite, the rhino-a fusion of natural form and mechanical design-embodies raw technological power and industrial force. Their eye-to-eye connection suggests mutual recognition, not conflict: a moment of stillness where consciousness meets creation. Behind the rhino, bursts of fire or energy hint at chaos or transformation, yet the human remains unmoved, embodying the quiet strength of introspection. This contrast emphasizes the resilience of spirit amid modern turmoil. The concentric circles on the left panel evoke sacred geometry, suggesting that both spiritual and technological realms operate within deeper, universal structures. Philosophically, the painting reflects a meditation on balance -between the organic and artificial, inner stillness and external force. It poses timeless questions: Can humanity coexist with its machines without losing its soul? Can consciousness guide progress, rather than be consumed by it? This is not a clash, but a communion-where wisdom and power meet in mutual regard, inviting us to reflect on what it means to be fully human in a mechanized age.
