Mantis religiosa (acrylic)
A breathtaking, fascinating and short life from spring to winter. The god-worshipping cannibal lures into horror stories, myths and triggers fear in some people. In many cultures she is viewed and worshiped herself, is a model for Asian sports, she is said to bring luck and wisdom, as well as bringing fertility in the South American part of the world as Madre Culebra. Determined to fill out the short life and continue to exist in the species, she beguilingly and irresistibly attracts males, which she will eat after the act. There is no human anger, envy and adversity behind it, only the need to secure the offspring with the reserves in the short time. Is she closer to god, or is that why she asks for forgiveness? Neither nor! Almost motionless, she hangs from stalks and branches with her arms, appearing as if she is meditating or praying. Mantis religiosa the perfect artist of life.
