Ordinary demons

Ciprian Mihailescu • Bucharest • Romania

2017 • oil on canvas

100 x 100 cm

The painting is a metaphor for immanence and temptations. The hands that unite to form the wing are the symbol of greed, voracity and carnal desires. The head turned back with the wounded halo signifies the impersonal, ordinary nature of evil, as if the desacralized world is faceless and you can not distinguish the angel from the demon.
