Chimera

The Panther is its boasting motto with 2.75m of steel, polyester, bronze and leather; it combines cold-hot, shadow-light, and … wraps and haunts the mind of the bystander! With a weight of 480Kgm and with a bass sound beyond this world, it pushes and turns the earth beneath its beastly tires! Its name and appearance have mythological origins! It is a guardian of fantasy borders; temporarily located on earth to alter the minds of people and make them feel above and beyond reality! Strictly inappropriate for rational minds – it establishes new principles, rules, commitments and measures. Instead of rolling on conventional highways, it surfs on exaggeration and harmony, self-centeredness and sweet sacrifice, temperance and ravage, complacency and uniqueness, strength and self-control. Challenging its rider to develop unsurpassed skill and supremacy on the road and, at the end, choosing who would ride it to new, yet to be discovered destinations!

Finally what he wants to remind us of the presence of this peculiar structure with the name Chimera, is that when we do not forget what we have experienced in the past, the inspiration, dreams and expectations is recorded in our DNA, our help to deal with the present and the future in reconciliation with nature, with respect to securities lost and through the eyes of art, to know ourselves better.
