vania zouravliov



I'm fascinated by these dark gothic illustrations. Born in Russia, Vania Zouravliov was inspired from an early age by influences as diverse as The Bible, Dante‚ Divine Comedy, early Disney animation and North American Indians. His elaborate illustrations are a mix of innocence, brutality, beauty and decadence, mixed with the colors and styles of communism in Eastern Europe.

  10. LOVE IS THE MASTER

    Love is the One who masters all things;
    I am mastered totally by Love.
    By my passion of love for Love
    I have ground sweet as sugar.
    O furious Wind, I am only a straw before you;
    How could I know where I will be blown next?
    Whoever claims to have made a pact with Destiny
    Reveals himself a liar and a fool;
    What is any of us but a straw in a storm?
    How could anyone make a pact with a hurricane?
    God is working everywhere his massive Resurrection;
    How can we pretend to act on our own?
    In the hand of Love I am like a cat in a sack;
    Sometimes Love hoists me into the air,
    Sometimes Love flings me into the air,
    Love swings me round and round His head;
    I have no peace, in this world or any other.
    The lovers of God have fallen in a furious river;
    They have surrendered themselves to Love's commands.
    Like mill wheels they turn, day and night, day and night,
    Constantly turning and turning, and crying out.

    Thanks.

  17. Ciao Marina!
    Diciamo che la neve è bella solo quando scende e basta però io sono un amante del freddo e non riuscirei mai ad abitare in un paese in cui fa sempre caldo!

    Piacciono molto anche a me queste illustrazioni dark gotiche!

  39. Illustrazioni veramente inquietanti... è raro che venga così colpita da delle immagini, eppure per lavoro ne vedo tante ogni giorno! Anch'io ho un pò "rovistato" nel tuo blog e devo dire che le fotografie con la macchina tradizionale sono bellissime, very professional!
