There is a side of my personality that few people know: I am a big gamer. I love playing video games since childhood. One of my first PC games was Tomb Raider II and since then, Lara Croft, its heroine, has become one of my role models. From there to saying that it led me towards an archaeological career, there is only one step. Determined, solitary and adventurous, I quickly became attached to this woman who traveled the world in search of lost artifacts.

In this painting, I wanted to pay homage to him. For this I used a promotional image from the opus The Last Revelation (found in a magazine dedicated to Tomb Raider), which I have just finished. In this game, Lara Croft does something really stupid. She breaks into Seth's tomb and steals an amulet anchored to his sarcophagus. And this gesture will have repercussions: it just frees the god from his prison and he then unleashes himself on the world. Suddenly, Lara sets off after him to repair her mistake. And this is also what is happening with this painting since it is a repentance! It's also up to me to correct my artistic mistakes...

The canvas is varnished and equipped with a hanging system.
