Sfantul Andrei si Merlin

Status: in private collection Price: n/a SIze: 70 x 50 cm Technique: mixed media Description: This vibrant and whimsical piece blends sacred imagery with folkloric elements, set against the backdrop of a fortified Transylvanian church. Rolling hills, colorful houses, and meticulously detailed architecture evoke the rich heritage of the region, while fantastical elements introduce a dreamlike narrative. At the forefront, a figure of Saint Andrew, draped in red, raises his hand in blessing, his expression both solemn and inviting. Beside him, a large, watchful hound—labeled as "Merlin"—adds an unexpected, almost mythical presence, bridging the sacred and the earthly. Hooded figures, devils, and distant onlookers subtly weave themes of mysticism and protection into the landscape. Framed with folk-inspired ornamentation, the painting captures a sense of storytelling, merging history, spirituality, and a touch of playful imagination.
