"Where is the man? Ecce homo." created by Igor Eugen Prokop raises profound and multifaceted questions about the modern world and human existence. This piece is not merely a painting but rather a kind of inquiry that the artist poses about the interplay between human nature and the world.

At first glance, it may simply appear to be a painting depicting a biblical scene. However, upon closer inspection, we understand that it is much more than that. Its dimensions, acrylic paint, and diverse techniques such as woodcuts, linocuts, pen drawings, painting, prints, and lacquer technique all contribute to making the artwork multidimensional and deeply expressive.

The title of the painting, "Where is the man? Ecce homo." or "Where is the man? Behold the man." refers, on the one hand, to the biblical context where Pilate used these words while showing the scourged, crowned with thorns, and clothed in purple Jesus. But in Prokop's interpretation, the painting raises a much more universal question about the condition and position of humanity in today's world.

The question posed by the painting is: where is humanity amidst the destruction of nature and the chaos of the world? What role does humanity play in this modern world? The artist's question is obviously relevant and meaningful to all of us.

Humanity is indeed in a pitiful situation. Violence, power struggles, and environmental devastation are all problems we must confront. Prokop's painting urges us to examine our own roles and responsibilities regarding the future of human society and nature.

Through the details of the painting, its intricate technique, and its diversity, it seeks to offer glimpses into the depths of the human soul. Thus, it presents goodness, morality, progress, and cooperation as possible solutions to the world's problems.
