Virgo 

Boris Vallejo crafted this "Virgo" with a vision that transcends mere depiction. Here, we see two figures gazing towards a castle amidst a misty landscape. The pointing gesture echoes across time, recalling classical depictions of orators or even divine figures directing mortals. It’s a visual shorthand, a signal passed down through Renaissance paintings and beyond. Note how the castle evokes similar imagery from medieval tapestries, symbolizing aspiration. The gesture of pointing, so simple, yet so potent, speaks to our inherent desire for direction. This motif has evolved through history, appearing in religious art to guide the faithful, then re-emerging in secular contexts to inspire ambition. Thinkers from Plato to Freud have explored the human inclination to seek direction and the psychological power of symbols in influencing collective behavior and subconscious beliefs. This image taps into a deeper collective memory, a longing for direction and purpose. It is a testament to how symbols resurface, evolve, and gain new meanings across different eras.
