Moonlit Knights Painting

The Moon shines over the Knights while they enter the city limits preparing for the Attack. "Moonlit Knights" was painted during autumn-winter 99, and underwent various revisions until it reached its final appearance. As many of my works, this too came out of my sub-conscious, as layer after layer of memories and sensations dwelt over the canvas, guiding me like a sleepwalker through the labyrinth of my mind. If you watch carefully, you can notice that paint has dripped down from the sky into the green waters, which in the beginning had to be nothing more than a field of red bulbous flowers. Therefore, the white vertical stripes of acrylic became reflections and the grass became a sea, or a lake, the sky turned from a bright blue into a darker shade and then one day, in the middle of the canvas, an almost round bright disc took shape, and it was good to me, and it could be nothing else than the moon. The sky was still almost uniform in color, but something on the border was developing. Clouds! First only thin slivers of blue-white vapour, then more massive formations were generated in the celestial lake hanging over the watery expanse. Day after day the painting was transforming under my eyes, and I (the conscious part of me) could do nothing but watch the birth of a creature I had borne in me for so much time. The flowers began to float on the surface and under the moon they seemed to me like brave knights, marching towards the horizon, preparing for battle. The horizon! It was now clear to me that the flowers were ready to fight against a subtle enemy, lurking far away, not yet in sight. A city. New York, may be. Or Chicago...I'm not quite sure. As the flowers were approaching the urban Cyclops, details popped up. First the taller buildings, than the towers, the lights, and their reflections too got into view. Meanwhile, the sky was undergoing a final transformation, the veil of fog was beginning to rip open, showing the black sky beyond, the final destination, space, and thousand of stars, a whole universe of new possibilities. Then, finally, the hand stopped, and the eye was pleased by what it saw. The conflict between Nature and Man, Light and Darkness, Fulfilment and Emptyness layed now in front of me.
