Melancholy may be considered as an emotional state. The distinctive character of melancholy, with its dual character of creativity and anxiety and its differences from sadness and depression, distinguishes it as an aesthetic emotion. While Melancholy represents the limits of man’s understanding, the painting stresses the practical achievements of abstract knowledge. The Geometer, the central figure in the painting represents an architect and a positive allegory of Geometry measuring the world and thus defining its space. Melancholy stresses the practicality of geometrical knowledge exemplified by several of its material and architectural possibilities.

Practicing artist and professor (retired) at The Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA. USA. About painting: Painting is another way of thinking. It is thinking about what I perceive and then by interpreting those thoughts, realizing by plastic means, what I think. Conceiving, in this manner, a magical transformation of a vision into a work of art. Creative painting is thus a matter of the mind, of the soul. There are no absolutes in approaching the creation of art. It is an intuitive response to a very profound and passionate urge to create; it is truly an act of magic.
