Description of the artwork «Birth of Sonnet»

Nobody can claim sufficient and adequate knowledge of the past or the future. Foreseeing, at least trying to foresee is yearning passed down from our mothers with their anxiety about our lifes. To know the past is yearning of historical consciousness inherent to some extent in any human being. The future inspires with hope or arouses fear. The past with its mysteries excites curiosity. Both the future and the past - as philosophers assert - do not possess the ontological status. That is why science`s exact evaluations and other appraisal of human reason can`t reach these areas. But it is possible to penetrate there by a particular kind of insight, catching the promise or threat in the future, and in the past - sources of ourselves, probably the very secret of our existence. Intuition always pertaines to the artist Olga Akasi. And Provence poets` refrain still remains the best guide for many works of her: “Love leads, art follows it”.
