The Hands

$850.00

The painting is a story I visualized with the shape of a human hand and a parasite attached. This work is inspired by many stories I experienced and encountered in 2022. Dante's work, Inferno, inspired some of my applied visuals. The shape of a hand with a parasitic fungus is a picture where an action from the human hand causes a negative effect. The negative impact I describe here is the shape of a parasitic fungus that spreads to the hands of other hands. Meat and fruit are a picture of pleasure, where human hands fight over it and use all means, setting traps and arming themselves with spiked balls. I tried to depict battle as gambling using dice and card symbols such as hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds.
