Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
Tempus fugit is a Latin phrase that translates to “time flies” in English. The painting captures a glimpse of the hidden realm where Hora, the goddess of time and seasons, dwells. She is surrounded by the beauty and bounty of nature, which she oversees with her divine power. She is looking at hourglass, a symbol of the fleeting and precious nature of human life. She smiles mysteriously, as if she knows a secret that mortals cannot comprehend. She knows that time is not a linear and rigid force, but a fluid and flexible one. She knows that time can be slowed down or sped up, stretched or compressed, depending on the perspective and the will of the observer. She knows that time is not a cruel and relentless enemy, but a wise and benevolent teacher. She knows that time is not a finite and scarce resource, but an infinite and abundant one. She knows that time is not a curse, but a blessing. She invites us to share her secret, to look beyond the surface of the hourglass, and to see the deeper meaning of time. She invites us to see time as a cycle, not a line; as a spiral, not a circle; as a journey, not a destination. She invites us to see time as a gift, not a burden; as an opportunity, not a limitation; as a friend, not a foe. She invites us to see time as a mystery, not a problem; as a wonder, not a worry; as a joy, not a sorrow. She invites us to see time as she sees it, and to smile with her.
