Evil creates evil

  • Katarzyna Zarzycka

Acrylic on paper board, 83.5x59cm On this painting you can see figure holding a baby. The figure is a nun with evil snake eyes, her pose imitates Madonna and child, Central iconography of Christianity. This painting is juxtaposition of good and evil, where something that seems to be good is really evil. To emphasise the point Zarzycka painted a nun, who as religious figure is viewed in society as pure and good is shown here as evil creature with snake alike eyes. Artist wants to remind that sometimes our vision can be distorted and we are unable to see the real. Evil done to one person can bring more evil to the world.
