Great Prophets. Prophet Iol 2015

"Great Prophets. Prophet Iol" is a 2015 ink drawing by Ukrainian artist Dmytro Kavsan. The artwork depicts a skeletal fish perched atop a classical column with two cloaked figures flanking it. The drawing’s style is loose and gestural, typical of Kavsan's work, with a strong emphasis on line and shadow. The composition and use of the figures suggest a religious or spiritual context, perhaps referencing the veneration of prophets in ancient times. The skeletal fish might represent a symbol of mortality or the fragility of human existence.
