Original artwork description:

„Roma” is my personal variation on the famous legend about the origins of Rome. In the original version of the myth, the she-wolf fed Romulus and Remus. In my interpretation, the main female character meets a wolf and children and decides to help them. The woman, of course, thanks the she-wolf for her help so far, but from now on Romulus and Remus will be still looked after by the Woman. I show here the symbolic first mother of the Romans, with the attributes of flora and fauna. Especially my thanks go to beautiful Italian model Madeleine Majdal, who let me use her image, and to the Italian photographer Claudio Palermo, the author of the Madeleine portrait, which became the inspiration for creating the image.
