About the artwork

“Dochia turn to stone”, acrylic painting on canvas 30/40/4 with palette knife after the Legend of Dochia and Trajan:
Dochia was the daughter (or sister/after another sources) of Decebalus, King of the Dacians. When the Roman Emperor Trajan was conquering part of the Dacian territory, in 106 B.C., Dochia seeks refuge in the Carpathian Mountains in order to avoid marrying him. She disguises herself as a shepherd and her people as a herd. When she realizes that there is no escape she asks the supreme Dacian god, Zamolxes to turn her and her herd into stone for she can rest for eternity in her lands....
