Original artwork description:
In The Death of the Vitruvian Man, Roman Sedlák delivers a bold reinterpretation of one of art history’s most iconic figures. Set in a desolate, industrial-like space, Leonardo da Vinci’s idealized human form lies collapsed—his symmetry broken, his perfection undone. The atmosphere is stark, almost theatrical, evoking a sense of abandonment and existential decay.
Sedlák fuses classical reference with contemporary critique, challenging the viewer to reconsider the human figure not as a symbol of order and proportion, but as a vulnerable presence in a fragmented world. Painted with technical precision and emotional intensity, this piece resonates as both a visual statement and philosophical inquiry.
Materials used:
acrylic and oil
