Minotaure Leading the People

Description

Minotaure Leading the People — Stella Polare

A contemporary reinterpretation of Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix.

In this work, Liberty is replaced by the Minotaur — a recurring figure in my artistic universe. Instead of the revolutionary flag, the Minotaur carries a sun.

The image shifts from a historical revolution toward an inner one: a passage through the labyrinth, a search for light, transformation and the possibility of beginning again.

The Minotaur is no longer the creature imprisoned at the centre of the labyrinth. He becomes the figure who moves forward — carrying his own source of light.
