Remembering a Great Love, 2019

"Remembering a Great Love" is a reinterpretation of the fundamental myth of Pygmalion. The myth of Pygmalion is not a random choice, the beautiful statue of Galatea comes to life, giving its creator the fulfillment of a dream. The myth of Pygmalion is depicted in several paintings and collages thru a contemporary lens questioning the idea of desired idols.
The artist's reference to fundamental myths of humanity and their analysis from the perspective of contemporary society is the foundation of his creation. Rădvan is fascinated by mythology, symbols, fabulous and ineffable, story and the legend in itself. His heroes emerge from the artist's deep desire to take possession of the myth, to understand the underlying springs, and to deliver it to the viewer in a manner that does not take account of norms and conventions.
