The Movement of Man Towards Modernity

The Movement of Man Towards Modernity, I painted this artwork in 2007 using oil on canvas. It measures 50.80 centimeters and has since been sold. The central figure represents the entirety of humanity, surrounded by a larger man whose face resembles a fingerprint—symbolizing a future where the information and characteristics of every individual can be accessed through image and fingerprint scanning.
The man is portrayed within the text of the black-and-white image, representing the coldness and emptiness of the modern individual, slowly fading over time. The painting as a whole exudes a fascinating, peculiar, and simultaneously eerie atmosphere.
