This artwork titled "ANTIFRAGILE" presents an innovative fusion of classical imagery and modern expression, featuring a portrait of Benjamin Franklin. The founding father is depicted with lifelike detail, capturing the wisdom and intensity in his eyes, which seem to engage directly with the viewer.

The background and overlay of the portrait are a dynamic mix of vibrant graffiti-like text, with the word "ANTIFRAGILE" repeatedly scrawled in shades of green and pink, creating a striking contrast with the earthy tones of Franklin's visage. The modern script seems to pulsate with energy against the stoic calm of Franklin's expression, suggesting a dialogue between the enduring legacy of the past and the ever-changing perspectives of the present.

The boldness of the colors used here, juxtaposed with the traditional portrayal of a historical figure, illustrates a blend of respect for the old and the embrace of new interpretations. The brushstrokes vary from the careful, detailed work on Franklin's face to the free, unrestrained movements of the text, offering a visual representation of how history can be revisited and reimagined through contemporary art.

The series of works "Antifragility
I problematize the contemporary discourse on the fragility of the human psyche, on politeness and caution turning to hypocrisy - where is the line between these concepts?
I explore the oscillation of my own psyche between strength and rudeness, between rudeness and naivety. Antifragility is insensitivity or the stoic ability to cope with one's emotions. Strength of spirit is hidden behind the discipline of society.
I am building a dialog bridge from myself to the personalities I know. I do not want to copy their lives, I always remain myself, but I enter into a dialog with them, touching through colors the spiritual experience of older colleagues, phenomena or epochs.
