Andjeo mira sa dva lika 2010

Dragan Ilić Di Vogo painted this vision of an angel, or "Andjeo mira sa dva lika," with rich oils that give it a dreamy quality. The brushstrokes are visible, especially in the sky, where reds and browns blend, suggesting a storm or a sunset. I wonder what Di Vogo was thinking about when he made this? Maybe he was wrestling with ideas of peace and chaos, the feminine and the abstract. The angel's wings, one side dark and the other light, seem to embody this tension. And those cubes! They feel like a playful nod to cubism, a little wink from art history. I'm reminded of other figurative painters like Paula Rego, who also explored complex narratives through symbolism and emotion. Artists borrow, steal, and riff off each other all the time. It’s an ongoing conversation across time, inspiring each other’s creativity. This painting, with its blend of realism and surreal elements, invites us to find our own meaning within its layers.
