Belfegor Gold Blue
About the work
Belfegor Gold Blue Version, sculpture galvanized with gold – a Powerful Monolith of Bronze, an unsettling, yet captivating emanation of dark, supernatural beauty. This remarkable piece is a true incarnation of magnetic, diabolical aesthetics, brimming with unrestrained, orgiastic energy.
As one contemplates this terrifying yet radiant form, the viewer falls into a near-hypnotic trance. Immersed in a labyrinth of haunting, transgressive shapes, they seem to pulse like living, organic structures. Each line, each break of light on the sculpture reveals new, mesmerizing patterns that pull the mind into a whirlpool of infinite, esoteric symbolism.
The face of Belfegor radiates an obscene, almost inhuman beauty, punctuated by intriguing, hypnotic voids that pierce it through. These enigmatic, surreal openings—like blazing eye sockets—bore into the viewer’s psyche like portals to an alternate, demonic dimension. They attract only to repel the next moment, stirring unease and enchantment in equal measure.
The entire extraordinary, organic form seems to throb with a hidden, metaphysical energy, as though the sculpture’s very matter were in a state of constant transformation. The observer feels as if they are facing a living, breathing entity, exuding the aura of an ancient, infernal power. Belfegor becomes the embodiment of a surreal, Dionysian vision—dazzling, terrifying, and irresistibly seductive.
This enigmatic, transgressive object—like a living manifestation of Zdzisław Beksiński’s visions—poses fundamental questions about the nature of beauty, sexuality, and the sacred. It conjures archetypes of demonic, fallen angels, drawing the viewer into a vortex of inscrutable, metaphysical fascination.
