  • Dragobetele: the wonderful Romanian version of Valentine's Day, with its mistical rituals and customs

  • 2 years ago
  • ---
  • I didn’t know too much about Dragobete, but it would be the Romanian equivalent of Saint Valentine. Like many of us, though. I did not know that it is a celebration of Nature, fertility and young love, of romantic pledges, stemming from birds-ancestors. And how much respect there is, in some communities that never forget their history, how many rituals and amazing sym[...]

  • The Troll, the slow titan of Norse countries

  • 3 years ago
  • ---
  • We have always been fascinated by Norse mythology. Among steaming breaths and frozen mountains like sleeping lazy giants, slowly breathing cold clouds, through ancestral forests, we found some of the oldest and most creative stories that abound in significance today.   The agile creatures with their slow-motion walk fascinates us by their mere existence. Fortunatel[...]

  • INTERVIEW Breaking the stereotype: the old Superhero, by Andreas Englund

  • Who doesn’t love superheroes? With all their awesome powers and crazy attitude, we wonder if they could really have a normal life, too, as we imagine after every movie or story about them. Well, Swedish painter  Andreas Englund surpasses all our expectations by bringing to life a badass in his 60s, tired or bored , witty and clumsy, facing day-to-day challenges and no[...]

  • Exhibition RITUAL | Otto Constantin, 2015 @ Go Art Projects

  • 3 years ago
  • ---
  • "I met Otto in an exhibition by chance. He shyly approached and asked if he could send a portfolio to me. Nothing in the presence of this young boy would betray the strength and determination with which he paints, the lust in finding his subjects and the relaxation which exhibits his works with. Although from  Constanta, he paints the winter habits in Maramures an[...]

  • The werewolf, from beast to modern alpha male. An ideal of masculinity and terrors of puberty

  • 3 years ago

  •  Being as popular as the vampires, the lycanthropes were being since the world existed and it’s hard to believe that they could have been killed by silver bullets – the silver bullets were invented in the 14th century. The ability to transform into a huge wolf, howling at the full moon, as an hereditary line, or being bitten by a werewolf is a modern contrivance, whic[...]

  • The old and the new Zombie: the modern delirium

  • 3 years ago
  • ---
  • They emerged from the Haitian hot jungles, from the arid northern plains, from the Gaelic mines, from space and time and arrived on Broadway, in video games, movies and parodies, on the streets of America. They're everywhere.  And they are among the few creatures that survived,  although they’re outclassed by vampires, Frankenstein's monsters and other fantastic myt[...]

  • Vampire, the monster of sexuality and the constant zeal for immortality

  • 3 years ago

  • The stories are the romantic nickname of literary language of the realities that we can’t fully explain. A epistemology approach that allows harmony between useful and beautiful. All the creatures that appear during the stories are, in fact, metaphors of the most repressed and hidden or insidious fears of ours, let’s say that too few of them belong to the Good. Two of[...]

  • Dear Magic Animals,

  • 3 years ago
  • ---
  • Magical or fantastic creatures were the first” animals” we attached in a peculiar and wonderful way so inexplicable to us in childhood, while reading stories. Moreover, cartoons illustrated these intense supernatural powers they had. Proof that we are attracted and charmed by the hidden life of the normal world of those mysterious beings far more complex than man.[...]

  • Frankenstein's monster is not a monster, after all

  • 3 years ago

  • Far into the contemporary mythology, with short stops on creatures that caught new fairytale attributes and the genesis of each. Indeed, about elves, vampires, zombies and other cool demons Hip Adams and sensual Eves, zombies who fall in love and flirt old-fashioned, evil creatures bearing the innocent souls- all of these are modern reinterpretations that seduce and [...]

  • The Elf, angel and demon on the shelf

  • 3 years ago

  • We’ve got used to the image of Legolas from the Tolkien trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson: a human shape, with crystal eyes, pointy ears and a long blond hair, dressed from head to toes and of a divine beauty. Is is tough to figure the male from the female elf. Just that, at first, things were a little bit different, regarding this angelic demigod of nature and fer[...]

  • 10 graphic stories about unicorn from medieval and modern art

  • 3 years ago

  • Even now, we crave for stories. We need creative ways to express ourselves in order to keep the magic happen - if it's not too much to say, your own life storyline. Fortunately, this courage took shape in different art environments and even advertising. The fact is the unicorn is so alive in our lifes that we live under the impression that he’s an omnipresent entity. [...]

  • We’re getting closer, so close to the end of the world, not the party, but the big bang finale party, heh. With a cigarette burning our lips, we, the nihilistic talented minds, hungry for new worlds, we, the artists, the sadistic little ones behind the curtains. When we have nowhere to go, we go back to the roots to find meaning or motivation or inspiration. The point[...]

  • “Well, now that we have seen each other”, said the Unicorn, “If you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you.” Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll No wonder we insist on it. Licorns are perhaps the only creatures that stir our imagination and interest even today, given the secrecy is bathing in. The fascination for this respectable, honored and pure fantastic anima[...]

  • Jews and Re’em And the great monsters were created in the Sixth ay, some still living among us, while others were wiped off the face of the earth during Flood. Re’em was a gigantic animal and only existed one pair, male and female. Scientists argue about the number of their horns: either was only one, like rhinos, either two, like a species of wild ox that has diss[...]

  • “Fantastic”, “fabulous”! these words got into our vocabulary without even aknowledge their full sense. We’re still charmed by supernatural, stories and mythical creatures and we often stare perplexed when they are brought back to life in movies and contemporary art. With just a tiny little detail missing from our head: we forget where they all started from a myth. [...]
