Series 2023: New Perun is the god of thunder and war
The works resemble icons depicting saints to be worshipped. In our time, too, there are people who imagine themselves to be the very thunderbolts, the arbiters of fate. And in the same way, crowds go to bow to them to kiss the heel and see the newborn deity with their own eyes. Only from HIS mouth the truth is heard, only HE knows who is a friend and who is an enemy, and HE will not quench his thirst for blood in the holy war against the infidels. A person who imagines himself to be god loses touch with this world and his soul, the soul of a person that we are called to protect, perishes, and his lifeless body is transformed into stone. Now it's nothing–just a dead piece of rock. There's no way to save him. He is an idol like an ancient pagan deity, a stone Perun. Idols need to be brought down.

New Perun is the god
of thunder and war, It
On the first sheet we still see the image of a man, he is asexual, has no specific characteristics and features, and therefore anyone can hide behind these clothes. But a person's actions and choices have a profound impact on his spiritual well-being.

New Perun is the god
of thunder and war, chaos
The second sheet is a state of decay, the loss of those very living strings of the human soul. Here, the moment of chaos is stretched into infinity, and even it would seem that the geometricism that has appeared is designed to create solid ground under his feet, a support on the path of life, but no: the process of self-destruction comes from within, and no external forces are able to help the creature not to perish.

New Perun is the god
of thunder and war, Idol
On the third sheet, we no longer see a man, but a god, an idol, which the one from whom there is now no trace left so aspired to become. Here he is in all his glory: come and worship him. Was it worth changing your soul for a piece of dead stone?
