emphasis
emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewers attention. usually the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. the area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc.
in this sculpture, the central figure stands out due to his relative size and position above the other figures. the diagonal lines of the contorting bodies and the serpent lead the viewers eye to the figure, further emphasizing him and conveying the intensity of his struggle against the snakes stranglehold.
