Dourakos Original 1 - "CLOSE THE GATES" For Metal for Nepal

CLOSE THE GATES Original artwork by Dourakos In support of Metal For Nepal A riot of protection, temptation and controlled chaos, Close the Gates places a fierce blue guardian at the centre of a world alive with fire, demons, blades, serpents and ritual symbolism. Rendered in Dourakos’ bold, tattoo-influenced style, the piece draws from Eastern religious and folkloric imagery while twisting it through a contemporary, rebellious lens. The guardian sits immovable amid the madness - sword raised, flames burning behind him - while mischievous figures crowd the edges offering vice, distraction and disorder. There’s humour buried inside the menace, but beneath it sits a heavier idea: what we choose to let through, and what we finally decide to shut out.
