Original painting for sale online “Socrates is no longer needed”, created by contemporary Russian artist Stolyarov Vadim, painted in 2018.

Vadim Stolyarov’s painting “Socrates is no longer needed” is a provocative and multi-layered work that addresses the pressing problems of modern society: the loss of value of wisdom, knowledge, and critical thinking in an era of information overload and the dominance of technology.

At the center of the painting is a statue of Socrates - a symbol of wisdom, philosophy, and the relentless search for truth. However, the image of Socrates is presented in a distorted, fragmented form. The statue seems to fall apart, losing its integrity and significance.

The background of the painting is executed in an abstract style, using bright, contrasting colors and geometric shapes. These elements create a sense of chaos, disorder, and disorientation, reflecting the modern information flow that overwhelms the human mind and makes it difficult to find the truth.

“Socrates is no longer needed” is a painting-warning, a painting-call. It reminds us that it is important to value wisdom, knowledge and critical thinking, that without them we risk losing ourselves in the flow of information and becoming victims of manipulation and illusions. This is art that makes us think about the future of civilization and the role of each of us in preserving the values ​​accumulated by mankind. It is an invitation to a dialogue about what we are losing by abandoning wisdom, and what we can gain by turning to it again.

The painting measures 150x93 cm and can be hung on the wall to decorate the interior of an apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel. You can buy art works “Socrates is no longer needed” online with free shipping to your location!
