Description
Iconic Work of Ivan Shikerov (1928 - 1999), created between 1996 - 1998. It is a beautiful abstraction, unique and never shown before.
When I saw the painting for the first time in 1998 I wasn’t sure what exactly it is… However I liked it. Today I think that I am closer to the truth… And I absolutely love it!
I guess it is an artistic vision of the Artist’s own grave. It is a beautiful place, illuminated by heaven’s aura and ready to take off towards God’s Dom. It is all calmly set and quiet ceremony is on the way. Refined colours and clean signature add to the occasion of sacramental ritual.
The set somehow reminds of Old Greece and Egypt: the ancient oracles and initiations. The wisdom of the Sphinx and the Oracle in Delphi are all in the logic of ‘Mask’. Five vertical lines introduce the philosophical approach in the Work and allusions to absolute Knowledge above.
And… if you think about, there are no questions in this Masterpiece. There are no answers either! ‘Why’, ‘when’, ‘here’ and ‘this’ are not relevant for the Artist. In the ‘Mask’ he is already beyond this world. He is seeing beautiful worlds and he is communicating on different languages and levels. The time also doesn’t concern this Work. ‘Forever’ is probably the correct word to describe how meaningful this painting is and will be.
With the ‘Mask’ Ivan Shikerov has closed the life circle and left his legacy to all fans and readers.
