About the Artist

We know that sounds evoke images and vice versa – there is a certain music behind the magic of an image. They say that inspiration for the Tales from the Vienna Woods by Johann Strauss came while the great composer was riding in a horse-drawn carriage through the spring forest: the singing of the birds, the gentle murmur of the stream, the leaves rustling in the passing wind – the sounds of nature chiming in as he moves along.

Music appears in the artist’s painting Born from the Sea: in the steady stirring of the waves we hear the peaceful Ocean singing a gentle lullaby to its offspring.

The Ocean is a living creature, it can be tender but it can be angry as well. The ‘furious ocean’ presented in this work – the roar of the woken up Lions – alludes to the fury of human soul.

Herman Melville in his famous novel Moby Dick poetically describes the ocean as a reflection of the living soul:

“There is, one knows not what sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath…”


The ocean’s gentle whisper is like a baby’s lisp or purring of a cat and at the same time like the roar of a hundred disturbed lions – it can be all of that!

The artist however introduces a new theme into the well-known cultural code of art – the subject of mercy and redemption. In an earlier painting I Saved My Soul the lion saves his soul by releasing the victim. This notion is conveyed through the stone figure of a lion with his head raised upwards and his gaze following a gentle and soft cloud floating high in the sky—the Lamb of God, the Savior of human soul.

1. First, we see a fisherman who motions as if casting a net into deep waters.

2. Water is associated with the unconscious – the knowledge hidden in its depths is very hard (or even impossible) for humans to obtain but can be accessed by the fish. Consider how Christ is justly called the ‘catcher of human souls’.

3. The early Christian ‘fish’ symbol, the Greek ἰχθύς (ichthus, "fish") is an acronym for Ἰησοῦς Χριστός Θεοῦ Υἱός Σωτήρ (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior). The Latin piscina (‘fish-pond’) was used to refer to baptism, and the newly converted were affectionately called pisciculi (‘little fishes’).

4. We say ‘still waters run deep’ – the soul of another is hidden under a slumber-like veil and in the depths of the sea there is knowledge and knowing of God into which a man is initially unable to penetrate. The water cleanses, immersing yourself in it amounts to being born again. Therefore, the man in the painting is a representation of God casting the net in order to introduce the man to the knowledge of the world and its Creator through the image of a goldfish.

5. The goldfish itself is a symbol of divine visitation or inspiration, of success in navigating the ‘turbulent sea of life’. Jesus himself draws an analogy between catching fish and converting people to the new faith. The faithful are baptized in water, often by immersion in a font. The image of the three intertwined fishes is a symbol of Trinity and a reference to the major Christian feast of the same name.

6. The fisherman’s butterfly wings invoke an age-old association with the newly converted souls, butterfly being a symbol of immortality in the ancient times. Its life cycle is an excellent example of this: life (a brightly colored caterpillar), death (a dark chrysalis) and revival (the spirit breaking free).
