Ahasverus

Acrylics on board

Ahasuerus, or Ahasverus, is a mythical immortal man whose legend began to spread across Europe in the 13th century. In the original legend, the Jew who mocked Jesus on the way to the crucifixion was cursed to walk the earth until the Second Coming. His eternal wandering inspires me in many ways: his eternal restlessness, his perception of time, the death he meets but does not experience, the sadness, and perhaps even the joy of the never-ending exploration of the world...
