This modern interpretation of the classic Saint Michael motif puts the viewer himself at the centre of the battle. No aloof saint with wings, but a man of today - recognisable by his smartwatch and trainers - driving the spear firmly into the dragon's mouth. The monster's bright red skin and yellow eyes splash off the canvas, while the golden background lends an almost mythical glow to the scene.
The inspiration comes from the age-old battle between good and evil, translated to modern humans: confronting your own fears, doubts and inner demons. Instead of avoiding them, you challenge them - right in the eye. The composition, seen from the perspective of the hero himself, reinforces that sense of personal power and responsibility.
The style is expressive, with thick black lines and saturated colours that reference pop art and comic traditions. Yet the work carries a deep symbolism: courage is not the absence of fear, but the choice to act anyway.
In an interior, this work brings energy and strength. It speaks to everyone's struggles and reminds us that we can all overcome our dragons.
