Description of the artwork «Evil Spirit»

In many peoples in different periods, the bear was an ambiguous character. Slavs considered it a sacred animal.

For the ancient Germans and Scandinavians, the bear was a companion of the gods of war. Christians have made it a symbol of cruelty, vindictiveness, gluttony, and greed.

Bear acts as the evil spirit of war, bringing death and destruction.
