Intervention, 1978
Oil on canvas, 140 × 180 cm
The painting depicts a confrontation between technology and nature: humanoid machine figures intervene in the realm of the octopus, while a ship lies quietly at anchor in the background. A bird hovers above the scene as a sign of another, untouched sphere. The composition addresses human intervention in nature and refers to the tension between control, exploitation, and the resistance of living beings.
