Golden deer antlers
oil on canvas 60x80cm . 2010.
DEER - a symbol of asceticism , piety and purity in the Christian culture . According to an ancient German legend, the deer was able to draw his breath a snake on the run , and then trample it. Due to this quality , he became a symbol of the struggle against evil , the emblem of generosity and strength of spirit. In this sense, the deer also symbolizes Christ, who is wanted by the devil to destroy it. In addition , the deer in Christianity symbolizes the soul, thirsting to hear the word of Christ: "As a deer longs for flowing streams , so the soul longs for you, O God ."
