PEGASUS
Pegasus is a creature of legend. A fantastic creation of the imagination. The Greek myth tells us of an immortal winged horse, which sprang from the blood of the slain Medusa and enabled Bellerophon to achieve many great deeds as his rider. There are many such stories about the strong and loyal hearts of horses.
The "Pegasus" that transfixes your gaze here is as gentle and fine as silk. He is also bold, confident and possessed of the sturdiest of hearts.
Pasha's "Pegasus" is painted with the same deft, precise, and loving strokes that a gifted calligraphist employs. The painting is successful and powerful because of its restrained use of line and form. Space characterizes this painting. Space fills this painting. The contradiction is intentional - I urge you to explore it.
Space, between the lines, around the form, unfettered,pure space gives the painting its unmistakable passion. Like the soaring Pegasus, the beholder is overcome by this radiant passion. Passion? An undying devotion to life, an unwavering commitment to beauty, to truth, to freedom, to self-expression and an unremitting quest for love, of love, by love.
Pink is the foreground and background of this painting. Pink as the representation of pure love and freedom. Pegasus explores the realms of the mind and soul. These cavernous places within us are painted a delicate pink. Pink that embraces you, pink that emboldens you to journey with your mind and heart. But it is also the colour of trust, the colour of loyalty - your journey will not be undertaken alone.We all need our own "Pegasus" to accompany us.
Proud Pegasus.

Pegasus the crusader, the defender.

I will say no more. Please go and understand "Pegasus" for your self.
