Original painting for sale online “Europe”, created by contemporary Russian artist Merenkov Sergey, painted in 2021.
Sergey Merenkov’s painting “Europe” is not simply an illustration of the ancient Greek myth of the abduction of Europe by Zeus, but a multi-layered ironic rethinking of this story, about feminine beauty, about strength, and about how mythological images are reflected in the modern world. The artist creates a grotesque and memorable image that simultaneously evokes a smile and makes one think about complex cultural and historical questions.
The canvas depicts a woman holding apples, with a bull behind her. Her face expresses simultaneously confidence, calmness, and perhaps some self-irony. She seems to embody modern Europe, strong, independent, and self-sufficient.
The title of the painting, “Europe,” is a key element for understanding the artist’s intention. It refers to the ancient Greek myth of the abduction of Europe by Zeus, who took the form of a bull to deceive and take the girl to Crete.
The woman in the painting is a modern interpretation of Europe. She appears before us not as a victim, but as a strong and independent person.
The painting measures 126x112 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 “Europe” online with free shipping to your location!
