ABOUT THE ARTWORK

One of Igor Eugen Prokop's most captivating works, "The Master and Margarita" is a monumental painting that captivates the viewer with its sheer scale and rich detail. The artist uniquely renders details of Bulgakov's world-famous novel in a way that references contemporary reality, creating a work of art in which text and image reinforce and complement each other to tell a mystical story. Prokop's painting, measuring 174 x 144 cm, draws attention to itself and its detailed execution allows the viewer to discover the hidden secrets and meanings of the work of art. The piece employs a variety of techniques, including woodcut, linocut, paper print, painting and drawing, to create rich textures and layers that add depth to the scenes depicted. The central figure in the painting is Professor Woland, who alternately presents himself as a black magician or a historian-counsellor in the story. Woland's appearance in Moscow conveys the mystical power and presence of Satan. Scenes evoked in the painting, such as the true story of Jesus' encounter with Pilate or Dostoevsky's interpretation of the motifs of Crime and Punishment, further deepen the ideas and symbols embedded in the novel. The eternal time and timelessness depicted in the artwork, which spans Woland's journeys and leaps, and the moral messages juxtaposing the biblical past and present, are both thought-provoking and inspiring. Visually, the painting presents multiple layers that reflect the depth and complexity of the novel and the painting. In summary, Prokop's painting is a fascinating work of art that reveals the depth and richness of the key motifs and symbols in Bulgakov's masterpiece. Interwoven with the fabric of the novel, the painting encourages interpretation, while at the same time prompting the viewer to contemplate and contemplate the mystical world inherent in the work.

Everything I do can be called a lifelong process of evolvement like everything at nature once evolved within a "natural order". My studies as well as my time as a teacher, but first of all my travels, have formed me. Like everyone I was created by the daily influences: my children, my friends, and all the surrounding social and personal problems. From this daily life originates my creative sense for responsibility: I feel responsible for our planet's imperfect looking future! I sensed our Planet first of all visual, and connected my impressions with my strong interest for biology and my everlasting wish to travel. The urge to discover and the urge to create met at my soul. I traveled through many countries but how many did I not visit? I learned about the elemental, wild power of our oceans, the cradle of life itself. Then I became aware of the destruction by man. I saw the dead corals, the final extinction of uncounted creatures. At the small islands of the Pacific Ocean I became witness to the destruction of everything that should have been holy to us. These wonderful old and life giving reefs that we destroyed inspired me to formulate my feelings in order to oppose the destruction. I traveled further: New Zealand, Australia, and America with its unique New York. I traveled through the old Europe that is connected with my soul and through the hot Africa with its hard but nevertheless human way of life. Indonesia with her unlimited sources of artists and wonders of nature helped me to understand our world, as did the drop of river water under my microscope - or the body of the ant, the blade of grass?all these systems and impressions go through the filter of my brain and everything flows further into my heart and my hands: the forms, the colors, and the connections. Is the blade of grass with its efficiency not superior to any machine? And what kind of wonder is the human being? 23000 breaths does he take each day, and he needs so many liters of pure water - pure water from his small habitat within our universe. You should think that this habitat would be perfect for him. We are all tiny parts within the great, unbelievable and after all not understandable system. Every detail within this system is important, both in the physic as well as in the psychic world. Errors of the system (like my diseases) let me reflect about the connections within the system. Everything is connected - nothing is meaningless.
