The picture was painted under the impression of a trip to the mountainous Greece in July 2014. The picture depicts an old man - a shepherd and his faithful companion - a donkey, resting in the shade of an olive tree.
Far from the tourist bustle, mountain people live high in the mountains, sacredly honoring ancient traditions and customs.
"The wisdom of the mountains" is an attempt by the artist to show the traditional way of Greek rural life, with its serenity, tranquility and simple life.
The picture is filled with symbols and allegories - the old man - the shepherd is the wisdom of a lived life, adherence to traditions.
Donkey - stubbornness in achieving goals. Flowers on the rocks, growing through the stones - a symbol of will and determination in life.
