About this artwork
The artist Kristaps Priede finds inspiration in the picturesque landscapes of southern Switzerland. All paintings have a common element: mountains. The mountain is considered to be the reflection of the world and the model of the Universe. Its summit is where the road to heaven begins. The Romanian religious historian and philosopher Mircea Eliade claims that the mountain is not only the highest point, but also the “navel” of the world where all…
life begins. In myths, legends and tales, all cosmic events have to do with mountains. Being the closest to heaven, mountains are the perfect place for shrines where people can seek revelations. Their ever-searching spirits strive to be unrestricted and feel freedom. Watching mountains as their summits sink into the clouds and fade into the sky is a transcendental experience: the passage from the bodily to the spiritual.
