“Crossing the Rubicon”
The expression “crossing the Rubicon” refers to making an irreversible decision, a point of no return. This idea originates in history, when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon to invade Gaul. This was a clear act of declaring war, a “point of no return.” This moment marked not only a crucial turning point in Caesar’s life, but also in the history of the Roman Empire.

The theme of making choices is central to Denie Put’s works. His painting style is impulsive and decisive, which reflects the certainty with which he makes decisions. Like Julius Caesar, he is always at the intersection of important choices in his artistic trajectory that determine the life and future of his paintings. The power of the moment, the tension of the decision and the beauty of the consequences are captured in every brushstroke.

Put’s works of art are not just abstract representations; they are like silent structures on another planet. The utopian constructions in his work radiate an eternal grandeur, resulting from their ability to make the right decision in a complex and often chaotic world. They are not simple figures or props in a story; they are symbols of the human journey and the search for meaning in the choices we make. The surreal environments evoke a sense of alienation and offer an intriguing escape from everyday reality. Each painting seems to be a window to another world, where the laws of nature and logic do not apply.
