Saint George Collage

Saint George (~275/280-303), celebrated on the 23rd of April. Reason for Conception: The Saints belong, exclusively and by definition, to the religious world, thus becoming authentic symbols of the Christian spirituality. Although they transform graphically and visually the essence of the Divinity, icons carry in themselves the aura of a long ago scrutinized, never penetrated symbolism. Therefore, the icon becomes an allegory of ancestral symbols, millenary kept in the mysteries of Divinity. Traditional - Byzantine and Christian Orthodox – the simbolistic power is shown through a great material wealth, both in content and form: the clothes are of "kings"; materials like gold, silver, precious stones abound; the colors are bright - the touch of brilliance and splendor points to Divinity. But here, the materials are simple / basic: wood, clay, metal, stone, etc., and the effect of colors is given, in its majority, by the wealth and beauty of the popular Romanian motifs. Their presence is alleged in the religious rituals and the sacred - the Church for example, but in a warm home, in a thematic exhibition or even in a (pre)school manual with educational values, their ethereal presence christianizes the secular and profane through universal symbolics. Books with explanations: A megalomartyr Saint who, although he followed the hierarchy in the Roman army (under Diocletian), he has not disowned in any way the Christian faith. Legend has it that he killed a dragon to save a virgin. The icon pictures the fight in a living dynamic: He, standing up in his saddle, pushed in the stirrups with tight reins, and the horse is almost out of the frame, the mane and tail in the wind, and you almost can hear the sound of the bells! Everything happens behind a country fence.
