This painting was inspired by an excerpt from the book The Saviors of God by philosopher Nikos Kazantzakis. Uncertainty and terror. In a violent flash of lightning I discern on the highest peak of power the final, the most fearful pair embracing: Terror and Silence. And between them, a Flame. THE SOUL OF MAN IS a flame, a bird of fire that leaps from bough to bough, from head to head, and that shouts: I cannot stand still, I cannot be consumed, no one can quench My heart breaks open, my mind is flooded with light, and all at once this worlds dread battlefield is revealed to me as an erotic arena. Two violent contrary winds, one masculine and the other feminine, met and clashed at a crossroads. For a moment they counterbalanced each other, thickened, and became visible. This crossroads is the Universe. This crossroads is my heart. This dance of the gigantic erotic collision is transmitted from the darkest particle of matter to the most spacious thought.
