Descriere

Sânmedru Pictură abstractă mare pays homage to the traditions and mythology surrounding Sânmedru, a revered figure in the Romanian pantheon. Celebrated on October 26th, Sânmedru represents the patron of pastoral winter, symbolizing the death of vegetation and the arrival of winter. This celebration marks a critical division of the year into two symmetrical parts: the summer season, centered on St. Elijah (July 20), and the winter season, centered on Sâmpetru of Winter (November 16).

Saint Demetrius is also the patron saint of shepherds, and his feast day includes rituals predicting the coming winter. Shepherds place a sheepskin coat in the middle of their sheep herd and observe which sheep lies on it. If a black sheep lies down, the winter will be mild, but if a white sheep lies down, the winter will be harsh.

This artwork is part of „Calendarul”, a series of 14 paintings that depict the most significant celebrations of the pastoral Romanian year. These works are inspired by the rich culture, traditions, and mythology of Mărginimii Sibiului, one of Romania’s most authentic regions.

The cultural layers reflected in these celebrations include:

Religia ancestrală, preserved only in fragments.
Cultul solar, moștenit din cultul mithraic.
Tradițiile creștine, where early Christianity adapted pagan celebrations, such as transforming the Winter Solstice into Christmas or aligning an ancient thunder god’s feast with Saint Elijah.
