Original artwork description:
Fire is the most important turning point in the history of human development. Myths and legends present a divine version of its origin, historians adhere to a logical one, relying on archaeological research. Meanwhile, the fire, for many centuries in a row, continues to hypnotize fascinated glances to itself.
Symbolizing energy, heroism, spiritual and vitality, it is one of the talismans of the most ancient sporting events - the Olympic Games.
Traditionally lit in the Greek city of Olympia from the sun, it
with the help of torches it is carefully delivered to the main stadium of the Games during the opening ceremony, where it is lit in a special bowl at the stadium. The Olympic flame burns until the close of the Olympics and symbolizes purity, perfection, the struggle to win, as well as peace and friendship.
Almost 3000 years ago, in 776 BC, a fire was lit in ancient Greece and the first Olympiac Game was held. Today the fire blazes majestically again, captured by artist Daria Kolosova on a stunning copper canvas.
Raging and implacable, settled in a polished bowl to a shine, he is the starting point of the heat of passion. The ardent spirit of competition, the thirst for victory, and the powerful energy of the unbridled element are closely intertwined in this image.
Fascinating and incomprehensible, he remembers the competitions of ancient times, contemplating the vanity of our time from above.
Written on metal, it remained true to its colors, gracefully glowing in expressive, rich warm colors. Delightful Synergy: Copper enhances the brilliance of the fire, which enhances the copper sheen.
Red, yellow, red tints of the flame are brilliantly reflected on the smooth surface of the volumetric bowl, mixing with the sun's rays. The element favors the holding of the competition!
The hovering golden lines of the Olympic anthem echo over the top of the look, adding thrilling vibrations and reflections.
Brilliant, filled with deep meaning, the picture is a real, immortal, proud spirit of the competition of the mighty of this world.
