About the artwork

Description

I was inspired by Shakespeare’s quote, «Uneasy is the head that wears a crown», from Henry IV, or «Heavy is the head the wears the crown». This work is about power and responsibility, about how everything is temporary. The crown is represented as an extension of the head, it seems to grow into the head, as well as the crown becomes a crown of thorns, which emphasizes the burden of power, the more power the more responsibility. The crown is shown in a process of destruction,
symbolizing that nothing is everlasting. The character is androgynous, responsibility and power are not gendered. Its style is close to such directions as expressionism, symbolism, sacred art, grunge (the style was formed in the 90s, was popular in fashion, design, music, the founder of the
band Nirvana) solution of such a theme in the rock and roll style is very interesting.
