The sculpture depicts a heroic rider just as he conquers the dragon, whose coiling body almost intertwines with the hero. The spiraling form of the composition suggests an upward energy, and the hero’s rise above the dragon evokes a feeling of victory. The dragon, embodying chaos and evil, wraps its sinuous body around the base of the statue. The writhing beast represents destructive force but also the inner demons everyone must confront. The artist masterfully portrays the dragon’s agony and fury as it stands on the brink of defeat.

Above, the rider and his horse symbolize courage, persistence, and uncompromising resolve as they fight together against the monster. The horse’s hind legs keep the dragon’s mouth open, while the rider thrusts a long lance through its throat. This moment is the ultimate triumph, the victory of light over darkness, and the human spirit over the forces of chaos and evil. The rider’s gesture, powerful and confident, reflects embodied will and determination.

The sculpture not only depicts a heroic struggle but also conveys deeper emotions: fear, hope, courage, and ultimately, the euphoria of victory. Gregor’s statue reminds us that the greatest challenges and fiercest battles can be overcome if we trust in ourselves and remain steadfast in our goals. Thus, "St George the Dragon Slayer" becomes an enduring symbol of human perseverance and bravery, inspiring and provoking thought in all of us.
