Step into the world of 'Translate Wisdom To The Earth Now,' a contemplative painting that invites you to explore the wisdom of Socrates and Plato. As the artist, I was inspired by a dialogue between these two great philosophers, in which they discussed the citizens of a new land who frequently reminded each other that it's a free country. Their conversation leads us to ponder the significance of freedom and self-awareness.
In this artwork, Socrates and Plato engage in a conversation about the citizens' constant reminders of their freedom. Plato finds it odd and likens it to reminding a baker that they are a baker or a sculptor that they are a sculptor. Socrates and Plato agree that those who are truly convinced of their trade have no need for such reminders. This dialogue encourages us to reflect on the idea that true freedom and self-assuredness come from within.
As you immerse yourself in 'Translate Wisdom To The Earth Now,' consider the wisdom you would send to the world. What does true freedom mean to you, and how can we find it within ourselves? This painting is an invitation to explore these profound questions and to engage in a thoughtful conversation with the wisdom of Socrates and Plato, inspiring us to seek the deeper truths that lie within.
