Taming the First Fire - Original Artwork by Fabio Marinho

Oil and Cold Wax on canvas -  30"x 40"

Taming the First Fire reflects humanity’s ongoing confrontation with its own primal nature. The work speaks of a collective process, the recognition and gradual mastery of instincts that, for ages, have been obscured by our inability to face them. Something greater than ourselves now permeates the atmosphere, urging each consciousness to encounter its deepest drives. Within this tension between cruelty and compassion, the painting embodies the awakening of awareness and the slow taming of the forces that once ruled from the shadows.
