Fιghτer ιn Τrοy

(oil on cardboard, 2006)

And to them forthwith war became sweeter than to return in their hollow ships to their dear native land  

(Homer, Iliad [B,453]. English Translation by A.T. Murray)

This painting is not a tribute to the war.. if anything the opposite! 
I liked this phrase from the Iliad because it reveals the strength of a man who struggle in life and not even care to go back to the sweet comfort of home.
