This painting is the seventh work in the ongoing conceptual series, each piece measuring 20×20 cm, oil on canvas. Continuing the theme of the previous works, the painting explores the emotional duality hidden behind the gaze of an ancient warrior. Framed by the helmet, the eye reveals both strength and vulnerability, reminding us of the fragile humanity that exists behind the mask of courage. The work comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed and dated by the artist. Please note: The last photograph in the listing shows the previous paintings from the same series for reference only.
