This digital artwork shows an intriguing interplay of history and symbolism captured in a bright blue, summer sky. Most of the composition is taken up by this radiant sky, which looks serene and almost infinite due to the absence of clouds. Against this calm background rises the top of the iconic Brandenburg Gate - a timeless symbol of Berlin and German history.
At its centre is the famous Quadriga: a chariot pulled by four horses, driven by the goddess of peace, Victoria. The detailing is sharp and realistic, with warm stone tones and subtle shadows emphasising the monument's depth. The statue appears as static as it is powerful, like a beacon of historical continuity.
Hovering above this classic scene are two Russian MiG-3 fighter jets, sharply depicted in formation flight. Their presence injects tension into the image: symbol of confrontation, air superiority or possibly liberation - depending on interpretation. The aircraft are sleek, shiny and contrast with the ancient architecture below them. They cast hardly any shadows, as if they exist almost outside time.
