The firebird burnt a Nautilus snail

The painter, Igor Prokop enjoys fame worldwide. His works are shown at exhibitions of high standard in America, Asia and Europe. At the 2013 London Biennale the international trustees celebrated him “as a unique artist of colours and shapes”, his compositions are “the natural reflections of the intensity of matchless creation”, writes the London Times.
Igor Prokop, the learned biologist and talented painter, has been an ardent environmentalist for years. In his pictures he swears on the purity of nature. The Hungarian painter’s creed is to present the unfailing micro and macrocosm to be experienced. Because the tiniest changes of the world are exactly as exciting as the flow of oceans. He opposes great forms to minute details.
The journey to the Pacific Ocean reveals the Hungarian painter’s colours and tints. The colour flares and becomes transparent by applying layers of oil, acryl and glaze.
For Igor Prokop bird’s eye view is a divine present. This is why for the second time the artist reflects a sea swallow, “Sterna Fuscata”, a bird that sees the sea, the mainland and the coast.
In this outstanding picture the bird witnesses as a hostile firebird consumes a periwinkle with fire. The body of the Nautilus snail is dissipating. The black slimy bulk clots as a big spiral. The scorched pieces of the body are floating deep in the sea among corals and sea weed. They are searching their way in the undercurrents like the leftover oil in the water. We experience dissipation and offset.
Igor Prokop gives the firebird radiating beauty and shiny dominance: the plumage wide open, the profusion of the variety of colours as the fire is spreading not conceding getaway. The Hungarian artist describes the unequal fight between the firebird and the Nautilus snail with rich, narrative fantasy. He gives the feathered attacker a weapon that the sea creatures are unmercifully exposed to, i.e. the fire. The fire damaging the world is burning already. The cue is global warming.
This piece of art by Igor Prokop is a brilliant masterpiece as a composition with a relevant social background. The renowned environmentalist gives an emphatic warning via the bright firebird who/which consumes the Nautilus snail with heat. He summons us to protect Nature.
