SS 28-76 1976

Nassos Daphnis created this artwork called SS 28-76, featuring two yellow semi-circles on a white background. The semi-circle has been a symbol of wholeness, continuity, and the cyclical nature of life since time immemorial. Think about how the sun arcs across the sky. This image evokes ancient solar symbolism and a connection to the natural world. We see echoes of this motif in Egyptian art, with the sun god Ra depicted with a sun disk, as well as in the halos of Christian iconography, denoting divinity. This symbolism transcends mere representation; it taps into primal human experiences of light, life, and the eternal return. The use of a radiant yellow, a color often associated with the sun, knowledge, and happiness, adds another layer of meaning, stirring our collective memory and subconscious understanding of these universal symbols. The semi-circles, with their simple, geometric shapes, manage to convey deep emotional states. Daphnis’ painting embodies how symbols resonate, evolve, and are reborn across time.
