Original artwork description:

Belles époques, a dance between the past, present & future.

Past, present and future find themselves dancing together. They have become "friends" by need, they are dancing and having fun together but this is just an appearance.

The past is represented with spines all over his body, a symbolism of his struggles in life. He is pointing his finger to the future, accusing him of something we don´t know now.
On the contrary, the future is represented with a helmet, a symbol of protection, trying to run away, willing to escape and always looking forward without any secure path. The future is a very unpredictable guy. He is always attached to the middle character that symbolizes the present. He´s pointing his finger back at the present also as accusing him of something unclear. Past and future never get along too well, they live their eternal dancing lives accusing each other.

The character in the middle is eternally caught between past and future trying to make a balance between them. He represents the present an he´s always searching for security. He´s giving us the back ignoring that he´s the present moment, he lives his life always looking at the past and future and always depending on them to keep the rhythm of eternal dance. He lives emerged between past and future forgetting constantly that he´s in charge of his own destiny.

This remind us of what a wise men called Horace advised us: "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero" which is often translated as "Seize the day, put very little trust in tomorrow"

The past is gone and future is uncertain. Just live now!
