Diablo del Mundo

Price: 250,000 DKK

Oil on Canvas
250 x 120 cm.
Diablo del Mundo (2026) is a monumental oil painting in which Jacob Rantzau expands on the themes introduced in the earlier sketch of the same name. A man stands waist-deep in the sea, surrounded by sheets of burning paper suspended mid-air – as if caught in a moment of combustion or catharsis. The dramatic gesture feels ritualistic, oscillating between desperation and control. The wide seascape, sweeping motion of flames, and the large format heighten the work’s symbolic and emotional impact. Rantzau reflects on themes of loss, accountability, and redemption in a visual universe where personal and universal concerns merge.

This artwork is presented here as part of a small selection. Please reach out to us for access to a showroom with all available artworks.
