Inspired by Peter Paul Rubens’ “The Rape of Ganymede,” “Lux Mundi- Light of the World” is a compelling reinterpretation that intertwines classical mythology with contemporary world affairs.

The painting depicts a youthful figure reminiscent of Ganymede riding an eagle adorned with the American flag, symbolizing power and freedom. The background features an ethereal assembly of celestial beings, adding a divine dimension that contrasts sharply with the earthly struggles represented by the eagle’s flight.

The artist’s use of vibrant colors and dynamic composition captures the tumultuous energy of today’s global dynamics, inviting viewers to reflect on the interplay between historical allegories and modern realities.
