The painting was inspired by the beheading of Saint John. The main inspiration for this painting was the artwork "The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb" by Hans Holbein the young.

Safir Rifas is a Romanian duo of contemporary artist sisters working across a dynamic range of painterly expressions — from emotive figurative narratives and surreal portraiture to abstract explorations, symbolic landscapes, and philosophical themes — all realized primarily in oil on canvas. Their work bridges the conscious and the imagined, interpreting psychological, cultural, and existential subjects with a visceral visual language that resonates with sophisticated collectors. Whether evoking the quiet tension of human identity, the sublime mystery of twilight horizons, or the charged paradoxes of belief and power, each piece reflects a distinctive conceptual depth and artistic integrity. Executed with a mastery of material and a commitment to one-of-a-kind originality, "Safir Rifas" paintings reveal subtle tensions between form and metaphor, the seen and the remembered. Their approach is rooted in classical technique yet unbound by stylistic constraints — embracing figurative realism, abstract expressionism, modern symbolism, and contemporary landscape motifs. Their works are included in international private collections and have been exhibited and recognized in major cultural institutions, reflecting a broad artistic range and enduring impact. Collectors are drawn not only to their technical command and aesthetic richness but also to the intellectual and emotional narratives embedded in each work. “Diversity and originality define who I am as an artist. Following a single path limits perception — in art, as in life. I chose instead to expand my vision, allowing my work to move freely across themes, techniques, and emotional territories. What never changes is the unmistakable personal imprint — a visual and emotional DNA that binds every piece together, regardless of form or subject. Beyond the looking glass lies the essence of my work — and the truth of who I am.” (Safir) “My work is built from matter, relief, and impermanence. Everything material is fleeting, yet painting allows us to momentarily suspend time. Between reality and imagination, texture becomes emotion, and relief becomes memory. Creation is imagined matter made tangible.”(Rifas)
