This original artwork “Golden taurus” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Vladimir Kuchinskiy  and is available for sale online.

 Vladimir Kuchinskiy’s painting “Golden Taurus” is a multi-layered and symbolic composition in which the artist explores the themes of temptation, the power of gold, spiritual degradation, and the choice between material values and true faith. He uses a rich, yet muted color palette and a detailed painting style to create an atmosphere of mystery, anxiety, and moral decay characteristic of a world where the golden calf is worshipped. It’s not just an image of a scene from a biblical story, but like a visual embodiment of a modern tragedy in which people, blinded by the thirst for wealth, lose their souls and spiritual orientations.

At the center of attention of the painting is the golden calf standing on a pedestal. Its image, executed in bright, shiny tones, attracts attention and creates a sense of power and authority. The golden calf, like a symbol of material values, is an object of worship and aspiration for most people. It, like a magnet, attracts gazes and thoughts, promising wealth, success, and power over the world.

Around the golden calf, people obsessed with the thirst for profit throng. Their faces, distorted by passion and greed, express a complete loss of moral guidelines. They are ready for anything to get hold of gold, not shunning betrayal, deceit, and violence. People, like puppets, obey the will of the golden calf, losing their individuality and human appearance.

Above the golden calf, in the heavens, rises the figure of an angel, with downcast wings and a sorrowful expression on his face. He, like a symbol of spirituality and true faith, observes the fall of humanity, experiencing pain and compassion. The angel, like the voice of conscience, reminds us of eternal values and calls for repentance and a return to the path of truth.

On the sides of the central composition are other symbolic figures and objects that complement and expand the main image. On one side you can see Adam and Eve, on the other - fallen angels.

A special feature of the painting is the combination of realistic elements with fantastic images. The artist boldly uses the techniques of symbolism and surrealism to enhance the emotional impact on the viewer and make him think about deep philosophical questions.

The background of the painting is executed in muted tones, creating a feeling of anxiety and oppression. The dark sky hanging over the earth seems to portend trouble and the death of the civilization that worships the golden calf.

The artist uses the technique of Realism with elements of Symbolism and Surrealism, focusing on the detailed rendering of each object and creating an overall impression of anxiety, despondency, and tragedy. Mixed colors, clear lines, and expressive poses create a feeling of discomfort, which should make you look at things with different eyes.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of moral decline and spiritual degradation. The painting seems to invite the viewer to reflect on the value of life, on the need to preserve their soul, and on the fact that only by being faithful to higher values can humanity be saved from perishing.

The Golden taurus is a monetary deity worshipped from ancient times to the present. There are fans of the golden taurus in all nations of the world, regardless of faith and nationality. These people put their lives on the altar of serving wealth and are ready to step over any moral and often criminal restrictions. In my picture, I wanted to show the drama that accompanies the fans of the golden taurus. Hypocrisy, lies, greed, etc. lead a person to spiritual collapse. In addition to money, there are more valuable qualities in our life, such as conscience, honesty, love and faith in the truth. You can't buy the truth with all the gold in the world.
