KRISTEL BECHARA - FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY - PSYCHOMACHIA ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 90X150CM

Inspired by the Theological Virtues associated with Greek mythology, this oeuvre portrays a woman who has found inner peace after submitting herself to the virtues of faith, hope and charity. The spiritual union of the three virtues is embodied by the halo behind her, which has been imbued in a swirl of colours and patterns. As the woman meets our gaze, we are compelled to ponder over what virtues do we choose to live our life by.

PSYCHOMACHIA collection image

Psychomachia is a series of paintings by award winning artist Kristel Bechara. It is named after an epic poem from the early fifth century AD by the Latin poet, Prudentius. Considered one of the most influential works in medieval allegory, the themes and ideas explored in the poem, Psychomachia, are timeless with its many verses being of great relevance even now.

The plot of the poem revolves around the battle between the virtues of Hope, Sobriety, Chastity and Humility against the vices of Pride, Wrath, Paganism and Avarice. This battle culminates with each virtue prevailing over its opposing vice, with Chastity defeating Lust, Anger surrendering to Patience and Love being victorious over Greed. In the poem, all the characters are portrayed as women because linguistically, Latin uses feminine pronouns when abstract concepts are being discussed.

The poem at its very core is about the eternal battle between good and evil and all the things in between.
