Nemesis : Weighing Heart and Mind
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 95X115CM
In “Nemesis : Weighing Heart and Mind,” the artist explores the profound concept of divine retribution embodied by the Greek goddess Nemesis. Central to the composition is Nemesis herself, her presence radiating a sense of impartiality and cosmic balance. She stands with serene authority, holding a balanced scale aloft, upon which rests the heart on one side and the brain on the other.
The scale symbolizes Nemesis’s role as the arbiter of fate, ensuring that justice is meted out with precision and equity. On one side, the heart represents emotion, passion, and intuition, while on the other, the brain signifies reason, logic, and intellect. Together, they epitomize the eternal struggle between instinct and rationality, impulse and deliberation.
To further evoke Nemesis’s avian associations, feathers cascade around her form, reminiscent of the graceful plumage of a goose. These feathers serve as a reminder of Nemesis’s vigilant gaze, ever-watchful and swift to deliver her divine judgment.
In the background, a clock looms ominously, its hands ticking inexorably forward. This clock represents the relentless passage of time and the inevitability of Nemesis’s verdict. Each passing moment brings humanity closer to the reckoning of their deeds, underscoring the timeless nature of Nemesis’s role as the enforcer of cosmic balance.
Through “Nemesis,” the artist invites viewers to contemplate the intricate interplay between morality and consequence, fate and free will. It is a poignant reminder that every action carries weight, and that ultimately, Nemesis stands as the embodiment of accountability and righteousness in the face of human frailty.
