Melinda Matyas, 'Sacred-Profane Dichotomy', Original Oil on Canvas Diptych, 2016 - Appraisal Value: $11K
 
The laying figure symbolizes humanity, the dichotomy between nature and faith. Homo sapiens emerged because of their ability of imagining things and telling stories about imagined entities, and those stories are still at the base of the culture today, even if we know they are not real anymore. 
 
Melinda says: 
"I'm fascinated about the duality in everything, the antagonistic forces that live and thrive within us. And they reach far beyond us, they are controlling the whole universe."
