http://ateney.ru/old/art/art004.htmProfessional artist and teacher Vladimir Pingachёv (Moscow) - an experienced master of easel painting (oil on canvas). It is the Nordic School of Art Nouveau. This is evident in the pagan subjects of paintings in their refined aesthetics, multicolor mosaic and general melancholy spirit. For example, the pattern "Igdrassil" (Scandinavian version of the World Tree) by its texture resembles an ancient tapestry fabric and color range - cold autumn.This coldness becomes a tragic mystery Nordic gods - Odin and Freya, who died after the European baptism. Gloomy and severe forms one as a military armor with gaping blackness instead of eyes. The tragic end of the world proclaim symbolic paintings "Ragnarok" and "Naglfar", written by a master of the northern mythology subjects.The image of the Goddess of the Scythian combines the ancient traditions of the Aryans and Slavs. Face of the Divine Virgin, depicted in a pose Oranta with raised hands to the sky, solemnly beautiful, austere and spirituality. Archaeological ornament Tripoli culture, animal style steppe nomads, the magic of the swastika, totem bird, gold diadem with the image of the Tree of Paradise, finally cosmogonic symbols of day and night - all these elements reflect the blossoming complexity of the universe, its sublime beauty.At the initiative of the author of these lines was created a portrait of the goddess of wisdom and fair war, Pallas Athena. She ordered for the cover of the first issue of Russian international magazine "Athenaeum". studied mythological texts, special studies, reviewed many of the original image of the Goddess (recently generalized in my booklet "Athena and Aten") and Vladimir Pingachёvym - - made the preliminary sketches and sketches of me: a large preliminary work has been done. In the final version depicts the myth of the birth of the Goddess. Here Athena emerged from Zeus's head, and clothed in golden armor, beautiful and regal in his greatness. Surrounded by archaic totems, night owl, and snake pёstrovidnoy evoke horror-Gorgon Medusa, Athena svetlookaya maiden calls to the holy warriors battle and carries them to a glorious victory - Nike. The powerful energy of the Goddess reinforce signs, amulets - trёhluchevye swastika in the night sky, and in the frame, as well as the leaves and fruit of the oak, symbols of the divine world of eternity.Vladimir Pingachёv deeply studied the history of Europe and created a series of paintings that transmit the spirit of the early and mature Middle Ages ( "The Normans", "Good King Dagobert", "Eleventh Century", "The Castle of the tenth century", "The capture of the King"). Subtlety and psychologically impressively shows the world of the Celts and Britons ( "Celtic Chronicles", "Lancelot," "Guinevere"). It was influenced by Nordic Muse Tatiana Vinogradova, whose book of poems "Stone Tree" inspired the artist has illustrated:Guinevere ...her hair - like moonlighteyes - dark forest lakes.The voice - gentle sound of the harp ...Her smile - my rewardFor all the works and deeds ...A special place in the works Pingachёva takes the theme of Ancient Rus ( "making fire", "Werewolf. Vsevolod Polotsk", "Prince Igor" and others). In the film "Invasion of the Rus' depicted the clash of two civilizations - the pagan north and Christian south, Russia and Byzantium. Portrait of Prophetic Oleg, is going to "take revenge on unreasonable Khazars" (image of a red serpent), despite the brilliance of Byzantine, it looks in Russian noble and light. Here the struggle, thoughtfulness, a clear geopolitical perspective."The first hike Svyatoslav" - so the new historical picture, which depicts the time of initiation, that is, dedication of the young prince to the soldiers. Svyatoslav boy throws a spear, and from that moment begins a battle of Kiev with drevlyans squads. The canvas is written realistically with elements of impressionism, but it also carries a profound symbolic meaning.These and other pictures of Vladimir Pingachёva together form the world of Native Gods and European origins, which makes them valuable, not only for our fellow citizens, but for the whole of the White WorldLasting Hope by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100178Artist: http://incompetech.com/
