Original artwork description:

This painting was created to emphasize the importance of raising awareness of the current climate change emergency and as a response to a project called "Portraits from the Precipice", a collaborative effort between Artfinder and Octopus Energy, leading UK-based green energy company. I felt how this problem brings people together when I attended Extinction Rebellion in Paris.
I was inspired by the amazing themes of the Renaissance paintings that I was lucky to see in museums in Italy.
In my painting, the horseman represents all of Humanity. Guided by the relentless pursuit of progress and comfort, he leads Nature to death, not
looking in the future.
The white horse is a symbol of Nature. Which does not have the ability
to resist the will of Man.
Carbon dioxide emitted by factories and vehicles is the flip side of technological progress. The growth of the power of civilization promises not only benefits. Aren't these obvious signs of change of the natural world does not show us that it is time to take action?
