Satyr Painting

It is a work that fuses classical myth with a scathing critique of the commercialization of nature. The satyr, traditionally a symbol of wild nature and hedonistic freedom, glares at us, holding a basket of fruit. The presence of an apple with a barcode label in your basket highlights the intrusion of modernity and capitalism into the natural world. This contemporary element underlines the transformation of organic into a commodity, a critique of unbridled commercialization that reduces nature to a simple labeled and marketed product. The satyr's anger reflects indignation at this desecration of natural purity and the loss of connection with the primitive and wild essence of nature. Through this painting, the artist invites us to reflect on the impact of the market economy on our natural and cultural environment, suggesting a tension between the natural and the artificial, the wild and the domesticated.
