GEORGICS

The series of paintings “Georgics” is dedicated to the vernal celebration of the land and the blissful, ennobling labor of man, devoted to the joy and the weight of agricultural activity. This is my artistic project, an expression of reverence for the genius of the great Virgil and his second masterpiece – the poem “Georgics.”

The intentional absence of titles for each painting suggests my disengagement from specific parts of the poem’s plot. Distant from literal representation, I leave ample space for the viewer to complement the proposed visions with their own inventions regarding the text-prototype and the images-consequence. It would not be amiss if the “imagery” in the paintings is associated with traces of human labor on the earth, as well as with the signs left by the play of a beautiful and loving life upon the fertility of the human imagination.
