“Parables”
“Parables” Sculpture Gallery
The Word parable originates from the Greek παραβολή (parabolē), literally “throwing” (bolē) “alongside” (para-), by extension meaning “comparison, illustration, analogy.
When asking a well known artist and art lecturer about the deeper meaning of one his esoteric paintings, he informed me in no uncertain manner : “If you can’t see it for yourself there is no point explaining it to you !”.
I can see his point… especially when the esoteric message is intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest. In contradistinction, to illustrate concepts of universal truth, I am using visual art ‘Parables’ to illuminate and communicate this art to anybody who is interested in the analogy.
