"Berserker"

From the Spooky Collection

Are you familiar with the Berserkers of Old Norse mythology? They were warriors who wore bearskins and went "berserk" in battle. They were known to fight in a furious trancelike state. Here in my painting we see one staring into the fire becoming hypnotized. Is he about to fight, or has he just return from battle?
