Saint Helena‘s island
“The Island of St. Helena” is a symbolic composition executed in an abstract-imagery manner. At the center stands a figure resembling a warrior or traveler, surrounded by numerous fragmentary forms, half-blurred faces, and patches of light. The artist employs a mixed texture and subdued tones with accents of gold and blue, evoking a sense of historical memory and dramatic fate. The title refers to Napoleon’s exile site, reinforcing the associative context: banishment, solitude, and echoes of past glory
