Deluge (II)

"Deluge (II)" by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis is a striking Symbolic painting that captures a sense of cosmic upheaval and spiritual depth. Rendered primarily in soft Pastel hues on paper, the work embodies Symbolism through its evocative imagery and layered meanings. Čiurlionis, a prolific Lithuanian composer, painter, and cultural figure, infused this piece with a surreal and Surrealist quality, conveying a powerful deluge as both a literal and metaphysical event that invites viewers to ponder the forces of nature and the spiritual realm.
