YOUNO, Aquila heleaca adalberti (Detail)
YOUNO, Aquila heleaca adalberti (Detail)
Oil painting on wood, 80x195 cm.
Double work which symbolizes duality of character in all human beings. It represents superiority complex.
With reference to the title: Nowadays, the scientific name of the species is `Aquila adalberti´. According to my data, when I painted it, Spanish Imperial Eagle was considered as a subspecies of Imperial Eagle. Now, our bird of prey is a different species from Eastern Imperial Eagle; hence the title.
