The work "Nemean" takes us back to the deep roots of mythology and heroic narratives to explore universal themes of power, resilience, and identity. The Nemean lion, known for its impenetrable skin, becomes a symbol of indomitable strength that transcends physical might. The piece, whose beauty endures despite the passage of time, raises questions about the qualities that define a hero.
The ancient stories of strength and courage resonate with contemporary challenges: like the heroes of the past, how can we aspire to influence our world?
The work challenges the viewer to consider how these ancient tales of power and bravery reflect today’s struggles. Similarly, it prompts reflection on our role in modern society and how, like the heroes of old and astral symbols such as the zodiac lion, we can strive to impact the world around us.
Tincolini's art is not merely a celebration of the past or a simple revival of mythology; it acts as a bridge connecting historical legacy with the present, encouraging a dialogue between what was once considered heroic and how we define heroism today.
"Nemean," carved from black-painted marble—chosen for its solemnity and depth, symbolizing elegance, power, and mystery—is not just an artistic representation but also a manifesto on how integrity and strength can emerge, even when seemingly buried under the weight of time’s challenges.
