Description

This painting is about the holy trinity; past present and future. The right side is the past, the left side is the future (continues the crumble till it's gone) and the center is the present (crumbles before your eyes). It is the temple of Hercules in Sicily - the history of this temple is where I got the name from. The Greeks first build a temple in this location, but much later in time; the Romans destroyed it and rebuild their "own." But shortly after they build their temple, an earthquake destroyed it. This tells me that the Romans didn't design their structure as secure as the Greeks did before them. It reminded me of karma (only in the aspect of the temple) I was also thinking what it would be like to be the creator of this design. It would have broken my heart to see the destruction of my creation; just as this painting and all my other paintings; I put my life and soul into them, just like every other artist/designer/architect does. It took many, many years not only to build it into reality but also to think of every aspect of the design (the Greeks had a reason for everything and designed with the Fibonacci sequence which is what nature uses to grow) I also experience this sequence physically, with every painting this happens.
