“Where am I? Metaphysics says
No question can be asked unless
It has an answer, so I can
Assume this maze has got a plan.

If theologians are correct,
A Plan implies an Architect:
A God-built maze would be, I’m sure,
The Universe in miniature.

Are data from the world of Sense,
In that case, valid evidence?
What in the universe I know
Can give directions how to go?

All Mathematics would suggest
A steady straight line as the best,
But left and right alternately
Is consonant with History.

Aesthetics, though, believes all Art
Intends to gratify the Heart:
Rejecting disciplines like these,
Must I, then, go which way I please?”

The Labyrinth (Auden)

The series “Capital Colossi” is a grand testament to the indomitable spirit of financial titans, achieved through the harmonious blend of elemental substances and the human figure. Within each portrait of this collection, the timeless resilience of stone converges with the everlasting allure of gold, serving as a symbolic representation of the dual nature of investments and wealth. These portraits go beyond mere artistic renderings, as they embody the enduring impact and significance of capital; stone represents stability and legacy, while gold embodies prosperity and influence.
