“Gold – The Price of Money” is a provocative, large-format hyperrealistic artwork that explores the seductive beauty and haunting power of one of the world’s most iconic symbols — the bullet.
When I first held a bullet in my hand, I was mesmerized by its beauty: its golden sheen, its flawless form. It felt precious. But when I held a loaded weapon and pulled the trigger, I encountered the terrifying truth: this beautiful object holds mastery over life and death.
This artwork is a meditation on desire, control, and destruction — a visual metaphor for the madness that rules our world when power is not matched with wisdom.
Rendered in stunning detail and printed with UltraChrome pigment inks on a microcrystalline surface, the image glows with cold elegance. The square 145 × 145 cm format reinforces the centrality and inescapability of the subject, while the olive wood frame and black Linen Liner lend timeless gravitas.

The Artist's Inspiration
There's a poignant observation about the universal human desire for power. However, it is tempered by the realization that true mastery over power requires immense wisdom. Without wisdom, the pursuit of power can lead to destructive consequences, contributing to the societal challenges and "madness" observed in the world today.
The narrative suggests a personal journey or revelation about the complexities of power and its ethical implications. It underscores the importance of wisdom in responsibly navigating and harnessing power for positive ends rather than succumbing to its potential for harm.
A Personal Connection
The initial fascination with the bullet's physical attributes—its beauty, gleam, and perfectly rounded shape—suggests an appreciation for the craftsmanship and design of a seemingly simple yet intricate object.
Handling a loaded weapon and pulling the trigger brought an acute awareness of the destructive potential inherent in the bullet. This moment highlights the stark contrast between the bullet's initial aesthetic allure and its lethal capability.
The experience of feeling the bullet's power over life and death prompts deep reflection on mortality, the fragility of existence, and the profound consequences of wielding such power.
The Story Behind the Scene
The idea that such a small object could hold so much power.
Wisdom in this context encompasses not only knowledge and intelligence but also ethical discernment, foresight, and empathy. It involves understanding the broader implications of one's actions and decisions, considering long-term consequences beyond immediate gains. Without this tempered wisdom, the pursuit of power can become reckless, shortsighted, and ultimately detrimental to individuals and societies alike.
In today's world, we see numerous examples where the unchecked pursuit of power has led to conflicts, inequalities, environmental degradation, and social unrest. From corporate greed to political authoritarianism, the consequences of wielding power without wisdom reverberate globally, exacerbating divisions and perpetuating injustices.
