Minerva

DETAILS

“Roman goddess of wisdom, war, victory, and justice.
In this depiction, poised between past and present, the goddess appears courageous in the face of those who dare to challenge her, fearless in her gaze—already glimpsing victory.

The plume, extracted from her inseparable helmet, becomes a crest of hair rising straight from her shaved skull, transporting this ancient figure into a contemporary punk context. Dyed a vivid red, it extends across her face, recalling an ancient custom in which warriors, preparing for battle, painted their faces to strike fear into their opponents.

The columns of the temple evoke both balance and a spiritual vision, within which this warrior figure takes on a symbolic significance: a combatant confronting the challenges of life in order to evolve and ascend to ever higher planes.”
