Original artwork description:

Painting: Oil on Canvas.

Name: Black Rock
Artist: Darko Topalski

I had the idea for the painting, after some podcast about multinational investment company BlackRock. As a contrast to the BlackRock monolith and monkeys from "2001: A Space odyssey" I have painted "Christ in the Desert" by Russian artist Ivan Kramskoi. Kramskoi wanted to show a moment of moral choice in Jesus' life, for me this is one of the most desperate Jesus and he was perfect to be alone and at the opposite side of everyone else, bunch of hypnotized monkeys. They are under spell by the BlackRock and the monkey with a magic lamp in the back (he could represent shadow government)...
