THE IMAGE OF PYGMALION IN THE CREATION OF ARCADIE SUCEVEANU

Abstract

Admirer of troubadour poetry, Arcadie Suceveanu (b. November 16, 1952, Suceveni, Chernivtsi region, Ukraine) pays close attention to the image of the woman. The feminine includes admiration and fear, desire and meaning. The woman is delicate in his creation, a beauty without body in which the realities of imagination and the everyday are transparent. The lyrical self takes on the role of Pygmalion with a few differences: it does not turn the statue into a woman, but turns Galatea into poetry; love does not perfect, but constitutes the game of acceptance without external transformations, it has the power to give essence to creation itself. Respectively, the transformations are supported by the artist. In this article we have analyzed the aesthetic concepts that also have tangents with ancient myths
