Vesuvio 3000 2017

Arsen Savadov's 2017 painting "Vesuvio 3000" is a vibrant and chaotic scene of a variety of creatures in flight. The composition is densely populated with birds, insects, and even a cherub, all set against a backdrop of a fiery, apocalyptic sky. This dynamic scene suggests a narrative of upheaval and transformation, possibly referencing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Savadov's style is characterized by a bold, almost cartoonish use of color and detail, creating a sense of both wonder and unease.
