About the artwork

Under a brilliant blue, cloudless summer sky, a stylised digital interpretation of the sculpture "Nike richtet den Verwundeten auf", part of the Schlossbrücke in Berlin, unfolds. The composition is framed obliquely from below, emphasising the pedestal and the monumental nature of the work. The plinth rises powerfully from the image edge, with sharp lines and subtle textures underlining the digital style - smooth, almost graphic, with a slight abstraction of material and shadow.
Atop the plinth is the winged goddess Nike, supporting a fallen warrior. In this stylised representation, their forms are fluidly simplified, with gentle curves and contrasting light and colour transitions that enhance their symbolic power. The figures are bathed in full sunlight, making their outlines stand out brightly against the plain, deep blue sky. Nike's wings seem about to spread, slightly curved, with a dynamism that suggests movement in an otherwise hushed scene.
The colours are bright and saturated, but not photorealistic - rather suggestive and expressive. The sky forms an open, almost infinite background that detaches the image from its urban context and focuses all attention on the interaction between the two figures. This digital artwork highlights not only the heroic symbolism of the original sculpture, but also the power of composition, colour and perspective to give a familiar monument a new, timeless look.
