Death Horsemen Painting

Symbolic composition 2019\ Oil on Canvas\ 60x80 cm This artwork is based on the symbols of life and death. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - from the sixth chapter of the Revelation of John the Theologian. Where Death rides on a pale horse. In most Asian countries, white is a symbol of death, a mourning color, while black is a symbol of the feminine, wisdom and new birth. The lion depicted on the right side of the woman, symbolizing the rider of Death, in the way of Maаhes, the lion-headed god of War in ancient Egyptian mythology. Whose name means "he who is true beside her". Which is also a reference to the image of another Horsemen of the Apocalypse - War. It is also a symbol of equality and honesty, before death everyone is equal, and appears in the true light. The general symbolism of Leo is divine, solar energy. Continuation of the theme of duality - light - darkness, death - life, yin - yang. In Ancient Egypt, Leo is also a guide to the afterlife, which the Sun trusted in its underground journey every night.
