6Novgorod Caged Sirin by Vyacheslav Smirnov
The heavenly creature Sirin is a "hybrid" of a
virgin and a bird, a character in ancient Russian
legends. There is a version that this is the
direct "heiress" of mythical sirens, owners of
marvelous, but destructive voices. However, the
reputation of the Sirin bird is much better it
was believed that she sings songs of happiness
and joyful songs about heavenly bliss. Very often
people lost their minds from her songs. The
second character is an unsightly, slightly funny
Blue Bird, with a human face, symbolizing the
freedom and unpredictability of that very
happiness
7Novgorod Caged Sirin by Vyacheslav Smirnov
8Novgorod Caged Sirin by Vyacheslav Smirnov
The main idea of the composition is that a person
who has locked his Sirin in a cage and thereby
protected himself from imaginary happiness is
able to see and experience real happiness. In
ancient Russian legends, Vyacheslav Smirnov
continues, Sirin is usually depicted together
with another bird of paradise - Alkonost, who is
believed to sing songs of sorrow. In Western
European mythology, Sirin is the embodiment of an
unhappy soul.
