Description
This magnificent mural by Sadequain, part of his celebrated series on the evolution of knowledge and human civilization, is a grand allegory of humanity’s pursuit of enlightenment. Executed in his distinct figurative style, it merges mythic imagery with philosophical symbolism, capturing the eternal dance between intellect, creativity, and divine inspiration.
At the center, figures stride and leap toward a radiant sun — a metaphor for truth, reason, and illumination. The man with a trident embodies power and command over nature, while the woman holding the open book represents wisdom and learning. Around them, other figures interact with globes, celestial maps, and instruments of discovery — symbols of science, exploration, and progress.
Above, the heavens swirl with constellations and cosmic energy, suggesting that knowledge is not merely terrestrial but celestial — a bridge between human aspiration and divine order. The rhythmic motion of the figures reflects Sadequain’s belief that civilization advances through struggle, curiosity, and creative labor.
Through its mythic composition and vibrant palette, this mural becomes a visual hymn to human intellect, portraying knowledge as the light that conquers darkness — both literal and moral.
