“Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting”

The iron grid applied on the head of Jinzo identifies the protection of the intellect and shows different ancient architectural elements printed and applied on it.

The lit left eye represents the abstractive power related to the right hand. Elements that make up his body are ferrous and electronic scraps.

This sculpture is partly inspired by the amarnian artistic style developed throughout the XVIII dinasty of ancient Egypt.

Previously, and then subsequently to this brief parenthesis in the thousand-year history of Pharaonic Egypt, statuary, as well as relief, were subject to canons mainly of a political-religious-propaganda type.

Representation of sovereign were, more than a representation of the real features of the individual, the affirmation of precise messages that had to be perceived by observers.

Custom of placing statues of the king at the borders of the country was also intended to be a warning for possible intentions of aggression against the empire. Here are therefore figures in a serious attitude, with a strong-willed and inexpressive face, with large ears (to symbolize the ability to always be present everywhere), massive muscles clearly highlighted on templar pillars with the king always represented in the act of striking with a beat up the country’s enemies.
