I had in mind to paint a relatively simple composition with a strong emotional implication, and I chose fear as that emotion, says Christian Bustamante as he confides his inspiration. The spider is my own symbol of fear, and I wrote the word 'fear' in English, Spanish, French, Greek, German, Hindi and Russian, because it is a universal human emotion. Painting with acrylics, Bustamante titles this painting Phobos after the Greek god of Fear.
