BY THE OLD LIGHTHOUSE Series GOLDEN AGE diptych part #3,4 Painting

THE GOLDEN AGE is a series of paintings that transcends time and demonstrates the greatness of human evolution in an era marked by transformational changes in industry, technology, art, architecture... The paintings in the series seem to merge into a single narrative plot, which, although fictional, is has a palpable realism, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a realm reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki's enchanting anime. The canvases of the series become a portal to a world where the past, present and future converge in a celebration of human Ingenuity and Talent, Progress and the enduring Spirit of Joy. The painting consists of two parts and is a diptych. The plot is fictitious. The canvases depict a port city raid at the beginning of the 20th century. Accent details of the picture are the old lighthouse and cargo ships of various sizes and displacements standing in the roadstead waiting for their turn and the silhouette of the old city, buried in a lilac haze. The busy life of the port and docks, the barely audible cry of seagulls and the gradually increasing noise of the docks take us to the era of human evolution and technological development, to Europe at the beginning of the 20th century.
