Satis Munita

About the artwork

“Satis munita”, acrylique painting with pallet knife, golden leaf on linen canvas 54/73 cm Fort Knox , Kentucky, is probably the single most secure place on the planet. Highly security only for some gold bricks?? Unless there are other things inside.... The legend starts from here... The main vault door is 22 tons of steel and can withstand a direct hit from a 2 kiloton nuclear warhead. The Depository has housed a copy of the Magna Carta, the Hungarian crown jewels, the Crown of St. Stephen, the U. S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and various other historical documents from all over the world. And the legend says that there is a special room somewhere in the vault that does not house gold or artifacts such as cited above, but houses, instead, the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant (complete with a “Do Not Touch” sign), satellite pictures proving that the Ararat Anomaly is Noah’s Ark, and the True Cross, complete with dried blood that has been analyzed as consisting of several strains of DNA, one of them encoded not on a double helix, but a triple helix.
