"It doesn't matter how smart you are, all that matters is that you can kick the other guy's butt." ~Ahh the wise words of my dear old dad.

First of all, this is an artwork that has a lot of content, since it is made due to strong feelings and considerations about life, and how life reflects upon me. It's not art for art's sake, but art for life's sake. (in every possible meaning)
The symbology used is well tought, and I'm playing with interpretations from the past, and putting them into a contemporary situation, thus redefining this symbology.
For eg; where the Lion (which is painted by the flemish premitive Hans Memling) symbolized 'chastity' in the original painting, it here opens questions about post-religion morals. (ic; the stress and value of life is found in life itself, (a child)) the child, and with it the life that it represents comes in the center of this philosophy, rather then death and heaven in religious interpretations.
The whole composition represents the impossible problem faced, and is put togheter as a keyhole, from which the key is unfound yet and it's unsure if it will be found.
Further; the media used, is chosen out of consideration about the content, and not otherwise around. the media are mere chosen as means, and not as goals, this way forming a new answer to what art is, after the modernistic (dogma) and crisis. (especially painting) definition: Painting is a visual, reflexive way of thinking, in which media are always means, and never goals. So contemporary painting is possible with photgraphy, painting, video, computer, ...
I won't go into the whole 'modernism mistakes' discussion, as it would turn into a huge essay.

There's a lot more, but some mistery left is always good.
