Original artwork description:

Blockchain Revolution (2019) by Igor Galan is an audacious, large-scale oil painting that captures the chaotic struggle between traditional financial institutions and the decentralized power of cryptocurrency. Measuring 200x300x3 cm, this dramatic composition transforms a classical battle scene into a contemporary allegory of economic revolution, where fiat currency and digital assets collide in a fiery spectacle.

The painting is filled with dynamic figures, each representing different aspects of the global financial system. The classical symbols of wealth and control - banks, cash, and corporate capitalism - are pitted against the avatars of blockchain technology and decentralized finance, embodied by bold, futuristic warriors. Iconic cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, and Dash take human form, engaging in an almost mythological confrontation with outdated systems. Their presence is accentuated by vibrant reds, oranges, and golds, evoking the flames of transformation and upheaval.

Galan’s use of surrealism, fantasy, and classical art techniques creates a striking juxtaposition between past and future. Traditional allegorical painting meets hypermodern digital culture, making this work a powerful visual metaphor for the ideological war between centralized control and financial independence. The artist invites the viewer to reflect on the inevitability of change, the power of innovation, and the disruption that comes with every new era.
