"Phoenician Ship"

"Poseidon has two hands: one hand is greed, the other is cruelty."

Phoenicians, the people of the "purple country" which was a symbol of the domination of the sea over the land, transferred lots of the knowledge and technology of the ancient world to antiquity. Written language and religious schemes of the Universe construction, many of the gods and heroes of Europe come from Sidon, Bibl and dominating Tyre.

Antiquity inherited lots of the knowledge and technology from Phoenicians, the people of the "purple country" which was a symbol of the domination of the sea over the land. Written language and religious schemes of the Universe construction, many of the gods and heroes of Europe come from Sidon, famous for its sea food, Bibl, the place of origin of the modern alphabet, and dominating Tyre.

The very name of the European continent comes from the name of the daughter of the legendary Phoenician king Agenor. As Europa was kidnapped by Zeus, Agenor sent Cadmus, one of the sons, to search for Europe, but he did not manage to find his sister, instead he founded the seven-fold Thebes, the first cultural center of the future European civilization of heroic humanism.

Knowing your roots going back to ancient times is important for understanding your place in the modern world.

"Prometheus. The Supervisor"

Prometheus is one of the creators of the modern human being, he is a benefactor and supervisor. Having appeared under different names at different stages of the human history Prometheus generously presents new knowledge to themankind. So, in Egypt in the role of God Tot, Prometheus creates writing and therefor connected past with present. In Greece he creates philosophy. During favorable times Prometheus appears as a person and talks through philosopher Heraclitus:” Everything floats, everything changes”. At difficult times when the notion of personality has been prohibited, he is called, for example, Dr Faust and tackles the problem of understanding the destiny of mankind. Truly generous to people he presents gifts and takes away the illusions.

Description: Sculpture of a male with a snakelike tail going into the ground and arm developed into wings. The charismatic image is extremely strong and creates the feeling of the flight. The sculpture is slightly tanned and polished that gives it an ancient glance. Technically very complicated sculpture still embodies the feeling of lightness and slim silhouette.

'Aphridite-Urana. Link of ages"

Aphrodite Urania-the image that came to us from the deepest antiquity and absorbed the essence of many eras, represents the main gift given to humanity-the ability to productive creativity, which is nothing but a miracle of reification of thought, realized by mankind on the way of comprehension of the meaning of its existence.

"Eagle of Zeus"

"The eagle is a symbol of power, always arguing with the serpent-provident about which of them is closer to the causes of the creation of the world.

The strength and power of power is always in sight, always in the first place. Only a proud eagle can look at the Sun with wide eyes. No doubt he is the first, but only within his time cycle, which has a beginning and an end. The time comes and power goes from Uranium to the Crown, Zeus, etc.

The fate of the wise serpent is different. Being on the second roles in the play called "Life", he is in a depressed state, but he lives out of time. No living creature loves the rays of sunlight as the snake loves them. The habitat of the wise serpent is eternity, consisting of many time cycles. The fullness of eternity, like a chain consisting of rings of time cycles, firmly connects Heaven and Earth, giving hope for a different future.

Each eagle, who has captured the power tops, first of all tries to grab the wisdom snake by the tail and usually he succeeds, but the flexible snake always manages to sting him. The poison of doubt lives its own life in the body of the eagle, changing it from within and, when the time comes for the transfer of power, it turns out that the new young eagle looks at the world with different, more snake-like eyes and is ready to do anything to change this world.

"Power and wisdom of the Nemean lion"

For the first time in history, conscious man declared himself in Hellas, where the birth of the protoscience of philosophy took place. A distinctive feature of philosophy is the use of three-digit logic instead of the previously used two-digit logic, which operates in thinking about the essence of things only the concepts of "Yes" and "no".

To move from the field of two-digit logic to the field of three-digit with its sign "X", it is necessary as with any progressive, that is, leading to complication, change of the organism, to refuse something primitive, inherent not only in man but also in animals for the sake of priority of accelerated development.

Then the liberated materials and energy will go to the accelerated development of the rudiments of the new, but only if they are available, and such a person can become a leader. But, if such new beginnings were not formed by hereditary or social circumstances, there will be a regression, and such a person, deprived of emotional support, will become more primitive.

"Arrows of Hercules"

A bow and arrows are the favourite weapon of Hercules, gift from Apollo. These arrows never miss their target, their venom is lethal even to gods and they aim at chimerical monsters – kings of the past who impede development of the mankind. Freed the earth from numerous horrid creatures, Hercules however became the victim of his own arrows. The bow and arrows were passed to Philocthetes who was meant to kill Paris who caused the Trojan war and broke the divine law of hospitality that was made by Zeus to open the way for the humans to discover the world. Arrows of Hercules is a reminder that on the way of self-awareness it is necessary to work restlessly with both hands.

Subject description: Squeezing the arrow, Hercules is pictured at the moment when the wrath of the past reached its hand to him. The wrath he was fighting against all his life. Thanks to unusual compositional solution observer’s attention slides from hand with an arrow to the face twisted by pain. Various techniques of marble carving in combination with metal give the image dramatic tension.

 "Nike"

The figure of Nike, the symbol of triumph and victory, conveys a sense of action and triumph which Man occasionally experiences on the quest for the Truth. A fine tanned marble figure of Nike is seen rapidly emerging in the air and hovering with an outspread wing over a seeker. The figure’s draped garments depicted, as if rippling in a strong wind, add dynamism to the sculpture.

However, successful cognition of the Universe serves a proof that mankind is gifted with an ability to win which determines the freedom of choice possessed by a human.

"Aegepan"

Aegepan, foster brother of Zeus, helped him defeat the titans with the help of sea shells, overtaking them panic. At the moment of triumph, Aigepan already sees the end of the era of his mighty brother, and the succession of epochs is lost in time and space before his inner eye…
