Platon I
2017, Oil on canvas, 65x65cm
Platon II
2017, Oil on canvas, 60x60cm
Two portraits of the greek philosopher Plato. Created in gratefulness for what i could learn from him. Studying the philosophy of Sokrates and Plato was the beginning of my own seeking to explore life in its depth. The beginning of a wonderful journey.
The two portraits of Plato helped me to honor his contribution to our collective culture and thinking. But even more important: they helped me also to forget what i learned from him. Because the scriptures of Plato encourage me to investigating life by my own experience and not only by reading books.
