THE BIRTH OF SONNET

The Classics are back - Apollo is dictating a sonnet on mount Olympus. Ancient hellinistic scene is presented here as a momentary fixation, documentary photo of a myth made on the score of Brahms sonata. The circle of real coins imposed on this mythical composition symbolizes the inexorable reality of our time - business, economics. But these two elements are not contrasted, they coexist here in harmony and the circle - a stable and balanced figure - somehow defeats and highlights the figure of poet and makes the composition, alas!, the half-mythical symbol of ideal combination of business and creation.
