Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death | Artwork on paper

Description

Even When I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death presents a scene steeped in intensity and symbolism. Bathed in shades of crimson and umber, the composition evokes a world suspended between life and decay. A solitary traveler, burdened and contemplative, advances through a desolate path flanked by hybrid figures—half-human, half-mechanical—whose forms seem both threatening and pitiful. The red atmosphere suggests not only a physical inferno but an inner landscape of fear, endurance, and spiritual testing.

Psychologically, the work mirrors a descent into the subconscious, where the traveler faces distorted reflections of humanity’s frailty and ambition. The monumental female figure, reminiscent of a fallen icon, and the skeletal creatures surrounding her, convey a world where ideals have collapsed into fragments. Yet, the figure’s forward motion, however uncertain, speaks of persistence—the refusal to succumb entirely to despair.

This painting belongs to the series In the Midst of Danger, which examines the human condition when confronted with chaos, loss, and the primal instinct to survive. Through allegory and psychological tension, the series captures moments of confrontation—both external and internal—where vulnerability and courage coexist.
