Vive Ut Vivas, Live so you may live, is a striking reimagining of Thomas Cole’s The Consummation of Empire, the third masterpiece in his iconic The Course of Empire series (1833–1836). In Cole’s original painting, the zenith of civilisation is portrayed in all its grandeur and opulence. The scene is filled with intricate architecture, bustling activity, and an overwhelming sense of triumph and human achievement. However, this splendour also foreshadows the fragility of such progress, hinting at the impermanence of even the mightiest empires.

This modern interpretation brings Cole’s vision to life in a bold new way. Using contemporary digital artistry, Viva Tu Vivas amplifies the themes of ambition, beauty, and excess. The artwork captures the majestic energy of the original while infusing it with a dynamic, modern aesthetic that speaks to today’s interpretations of power and progress.
