The Postman Of Divinity (2015) oil painting Description

"The Postman of Divinity", a hectic splash of serene blue strokes - far from any dystopic hint on the subject, displays a vivid arrival of the future or, to be fair, of the past in what seems to be a voluble, non-figurative present time. The complementary colour relationships chosen by Vîrtosu unveil a reinforcement of his optimistic perspective on the subject, creating a stark contrast with a more down-to-earth portrayal dating back to 1920 - "Angelus Novus", painted by Paul Klee. Although dealing with a similar hesitation towards the passing of time, whereas the Angel only casts a glimpse at the wreckages making up his surroundings as he is being taken away by the winds of Paradise (according to Walter Benjamin's interpretation), the Postman appears to be less fragile, giving away the impression of a reign of permanence over transience. Whether he flies away with progress or remains within the confines of traditions articulates a pressing question of our times as well, one that shall resolve itself as time passes by.
