St. George and the Dragon

The painting depicts the daily struggle of human beings against their fears, sorrows and uncertainties.
Through a refined play of light and shadow, a key element of his artistic poetics, Cuffari invites the viewer to reflect on the courage needed to face one's own challenges, just like St. George against the dragon, which emerges from Cuffari's hands in a work that captures one of the most crucial and moving moments of the legend, the moment before the fight against the dragon, the first moment when St. George finds himself in front of an immense beast and there his faith is put to the test.
The work is created using the technique of soft, dry pastels on special paper, allowing for an intense play of colours, light and shadow.
