LIFE CAROUSEL
Oil on canvas
30 x 40 cm
With this painting, I wanted to link the symbolism of carousel with the tree of life.
In a religion, tree of life represents the knowledge that connects the underworld with heaven. For the old Slavs, it was a symbol of a beginning.
On the other hand, I see carousel as a life cycle in which, from a light swing, we rise to the zenith of strength and then slowly slow down until the legs again touch the ground. However, what is the biggest and most beautiful secret is the human spirit that can always stay at its heights.
Ovom slikom sam želeo da povežem simboliku ringišpila sa drvetom života. U religiji drvo predstavlja znanje koje povezuje zemaljsko sa nebesima. Kod starih Slovena ono je bilo simbol prapočetka. Oni su verovali da nakon smrti njihove duše odlaze u stablo i tamo prebivaju ostatak vremena.
Sa druge strane, ringišpil vidim kao životni ciklus u kome se od laganog ljuljanja uzdižemo do zenita snage a potom usporavamo dok noge opet ne dotaknu zemlju. Ipak, ono što je najveća i najlepša tajna je ljudski duh koji uz puno truda i posvećenja može uvek ostati u visinama.
what a beautiful picture !!! the perspective here is so well done and i love the idea behind the painting <3 the use of yellow and pale grey here also gives rise to a heavenly feeling <3 beautiful work!!

Thank you very much!
Wow is great! It looks like a very high tree! I like how you work the textures and colors!
Thank you!
At first I thought this was painted with acrylic. Do you use a fast drying oil?
I love how the tree leads my eyes into the human figures, nice concept as well!
Thank you! I use standard oil or terpentine. I like slow drying to get more time.
