This painting rests in classic painting tradition and methods. The artist is on a continuous venture to give rebirth to the content of classic mythos, allegory & symbolism. Classiscism, as experienced by a contemporary painter, depicting the inner and outer realms of the human condition. Specifically for this motif – The vase, or vessel, visualize and echo the vessel of the surrounding nature... So, this may also be about human nature, our proclivity to touch on the ethereal by visualizing it in a physical form. The vessel, the urn, the chalice in itself holds many symbolical meanings all through humanity and its beleifs. It carries life, promise of life, rebirth and of communication. With, or on behalf of the sacred as the sacred itself signifies life. I chose the title Oracle since an oracle is an extender of such communication – The chalice in the meaning vessel, acts like a vehicle, as a mediator of questions, answers and messages. An oracle can also tell what the future has in store. The painting is signed at the front in oil with the artists intials. It is also signed at the back with a full pen signature and a serial code unique to this piece.
