The object is my response to the two works of different epochs. These are Velazquez's Portrait of Innocent X and Bacon's Study after Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X. These two works, for me, have always been distinguished by tense, dramatic and apocalyptic moods, and represent a rather masterful reflection of these moods. My study after Vel·zquez via Baconís study is three-dimensional and sculptural. In Baconís study, the face of the character is slowly disappearing, while in my study there is no longer a face. However, a chair remains as a symbol of power and legitimacy. Despite the fact that new epochs bring innovations, the symbols of power regardless of the faces being changed or entirely disappeared remain permanent.
