"Where is the man? Ecce homo." created by Igor Eugen Prokop raises profound and multifaceted questions about the modern world and human existence. This piece is not merely a painting but rather a kind of inquiry that the artist poses about the interplay between human nature and the world. At first glance, it may simply appear to be a painting depicting a biblical scene. However, upon closer inspection, we understand that it is much more than that. Its dimensions, acrylic paint, and diverse techniques such as woodcuts, linocuts, pen drawings, painting, prints, and lacquer technique all contribute to making the artwork multidimensional and deeply expressive. The title of the painting, "Where is the man? Ecce homo." or "Where is the man? Behold the man." refers, on the one hand, to the biblical context where Pilate used these words while showing the scourged, crowned with thorns, and clothed in purple Jesus. But in Prokop's interpretation, the painting raises a much more universal question about the condition and position of humanity in today's world. The question posed by the painting is: where is humanity amidst the destruction of nature and the chaos of the world? What role does humanity play in this modern world? The artist's question is obviously relevant and meaningful to all of us. Humanity is indeed in a pitiful situation. Violence, power struggles, and environmental devastation are all problems we must confront. Prokop's painting urges us to examine our own roles and responsibilities regarding the future of human society and nature. Through the details of the painting, its intricate technique, and its diversity, it seeks to offer glimpses into the depths of the human soul. Thus, it presents goodness, morality, progress, and cooperation as possible solutions to the world's problems.

Everything I do can be called a lifelong process of evolvement like everything at nature once evolved within a "natural order". My studies as well as my time as a teacher, but first of all my travels, have formed me. Like everyone I was created by the daily influences: my children, my friends, and all the surrounding social and personal problems. From this daily life originates my creative sense for responsibility: I feel responsible for our planet's imperfect looking future! I sensed our Planet first of all visual, and connected my impressions with my strong interest for biology and my everlasting wish to travel. The urge to discover and the urge to create met at my soul. I traveled through many countries but how many did I not visit? I learned about the elemental, wild power of our oceans, the cradle of life itself. Then I became aware of the destruction by man. I saw the dead corals, the final extinction of uncounted creatures. At the small islands of the Pacific Ocean I became witness to the destruction of everything that should have been holy to us. These wonderful old and life giving reefs that we destroyed inspired me to formulate my feelings in order to oppose the destruction. I traveled further: New Zealand, Australia, and America with its unique New York. I traveled through the old Europe that is connected with my soul and through the hot Africa with its hard but nevertheless human way of life. Indonesia with her unlimited sources of artists and wonders of nature helped me to understand our world, as did the drop of river water under my microscope - or the body of the ant, the blade of grass?all these systems and impressions go through the filter of my brain and everything flows further into my heart and my hands: the forms, the colors, and the connections. Is the blade of grass with its efficiency not superior to any machine? And what kind of wonder is the human being? 23000 breaths does he take each day, and he needs so many liters of pure water - pure water from his small habitat within our universe. You should think that this habitat would be perfect for him. We are all tiny parts within the great, unbelievable and after all not understandable system. Every detail within this system is important, both in the physic as well as in the psychic world. Errors of the system (like my diseases) let me reflect about the connections within the system. Everything is connected - nothing is meaningless.
