DISSONANCE.
c(2025) Painting by Dags Canvas, acrylic, oil. 150 x 200 cm -€4500 Exhibition “Primum mobile”
Painter Dags Vidulejs’ works for the exhibition “Primum mobile” were created, inspired by the monumental poem “Divine Comedy” by the Italian poet and philosopher Dante Alighieri.
“Divine Comedy”
Dante dedicated the third part of “Divine Comedy” “Paradise” to his patron – Mr. Cangrande della Scala. In a letter, Dante writes to him:
“We can say briefly that the purpose of the entire work and (the third) part is to lift those living in this life out of misery and lead them to bliss. (..) Both the part and the work as a whole are designed for practice, not theory.”
Interpretation of Dags Vidulejs
Responding to the most important thing that interested him in Dante’s text, painter Dags Vidulejs reveals:
“Dante includes his experience, what he has experienced in 100 cantos – in the light of Love, Faith and Hope. In the form of poetry, he outlines a vision of how space, environment, and sectors of the universe through which Dante travels change as his consciousness changes. Gaining experience, changing his attitude, after performing heroic, altruistic, and love-dictated actions, Dante becomes more sighted, he begins to see the Heavens open.”
Social context
In the socio-political context of recent years, we have become acutely aware of the darkest aspects of existence. The artist’s efforts to interpret Dante’s depictions of the origin of Time and Space (Primum mobile) in painting and to involve us on the path of truth discovery (the path that leads away from misery) currently seem to be very important – both for all of us as a society and for each individual.
Dags Vidulejs tirelessly sets himself new tasks in his creative searches. His sensitive nature, cultivated intuition, and rich imagination help him on this path.
