The deepest feelings ignited within me while creating this painting. My inspiration flourished through my research into the Michelangelo sculpture ‘Pietra of the Mary’ and the ‘Young Hercules’ by Alessandro Farnese.
At that moment, I was enlightened as I envisioned the composition depicting both of these classic sculptures on one painting.
Some of my recent paintings have changed direction after ten years experience painting mainly animals. I have reached the blissful and fulfilling transition towards this alluring style of work. Classical sculptures embody emotions for many people, they touch on deep feelings and profound understanding. I am really looking forward to explore further into this subject with my oil painting techniques.
The name for this painting that came to my mind was ‘Forgiveness’...that all humans deserve to experience in their lives... Interpretation by Dina Perejogina
