This painting juxtaposes classical art with modern street aesthetics, featuring a grayscale bust of an ancient, bearded man against a vibrant backdrop of pink and orange graffiti. The bust is marked by a bold black "X" over one eye with paint dripping down, symbolizing a blend of defacement and reinvention. The fragmented left side of the head adds a sense of decay and urban grit. This contrast highlights the tension between the timelessness of classical forms and the raw, ephemeral nature of graffiti.
