She writes: "Alan Moore" (2021) - Ink on watercolour paper and digital colouring. Personal project.
In the image composition I wanted to include the caduceus, a symbol of wisdom and immortality linked to the god Mercury in Greek mythology. This element is also present in Moore's comic series Promethea.
Furthermore, the similarity with the iconographic representations of the main divinity in Norse and Germanic mythology Odin (god of wisdom and poetic inspiration, as well as god of war) is something I did wilfully.
Gold and purple - the colours I used - recall the mysticism which characterizes and pervades Moore's works."
