Oil on Canvas


“I found this image in an old Soviet book about ancient Greece. It is the image of Demeter’s sculpture allegedly found at the sea. I couldn’t help myself but paint it. I didn’t paint it as a statute but rather as a page from that book, because that’s the way I saw it. While painting it, I was reading Plato and some studies about Plato and the ancient Greek world. I found an interesting theory that says that Socrates was the very first Judeo-Christian thinker. How could it be if it was before Christianity and far away from Judaism? Well in ancient Greece in order to be a good, moral person you’d have to be active. You’d have to compete with others in sports like the Olympic games, You’d have to go to war and win glory for yourself like in Iliad, and you have to go on adventures like Hercules. It is an active morality. On the other hand in Judeo-Christian tradition in order to be a good and moral person you’d have to be passive. As the ten commandments tell, you have to abstain from doing things. Socrates used to ask questions instead of telling what he thinks directly, he also claimed the right to not know. It is interesting that the European region got its cultural bases from two opposing moral traditions. One active, one passive. This painting was shown in the solo exhibition “Sanctity Translated” gallery “8 akys ir ausys”, Vilnius, 2021, and in the duo exhibition “380 B.C.” VAA Exhibition Halls “Titanikas”, Vilnius, 2022″
