In this artwork, several layers of meaning and complexity come together. Behind the wild eyes of a cat devouring the Sun, we can discover two powerful alchemical symbols: nothing, not even the Sun, an embodiment of time, power, and universality, seems to be safe from a cat, an archetype of ambiguity.

Yet this is a hymn to life rather than to death or violence, as human souls reveal their sensitivity toward both of these figures through their burning desire for love and their overly ambitious, yet beautiful, attempt to master time.

A simple cat may not be able to truly make the Sun its prey, but it can at least show us that we are not alone in our desires and in our lifelong search for meaning, to be expressed day after day.

Last but not least, even deeper layers of interpretation find their roots in the artist’s intimate gaze upon the countryside and everyday life, which offers far more reflections than what appears on the surface, just like this artwork.
