According to the artist, the idea for the exhibition began some years ago when he wanted to explore and understand human archetypes better. He was trying to find some new depictions of stereotypes and embodiments of different moods, which can be throughout history. In particular, the relationships of those who exist between the shadows of greed, pride, power and other similar totems.
The exhibition consists of some new works and some paintings previously shown separately. However, in spring 2022 a new chapter of history began and some works have obtained a new layer of context.
