In 1996, the opening of Oskar’s exhibition NATURE DESIGN took place in Palazzo Ducale – Venice, Palazzo Delle Prigioni in San Marco. The exhibition was organised by the Lido municipality and the famous CIRCOLLO ARTISTICO VENEZIANO, of which Oskar Kogoj is also a member (member number 821). At the opening ceremony, Mariarosaria Stellin presented Kogoj with an archaeological fragment of a jug with a depiction of the Venetian Bird, which was found on Lido Island. The bird of paradise came to life in a movement that reminds us of the Venetian gondola. The bird of paradise symbolises the bird of God, since a dove with an olive branch is a known symbol of peace in the Old Testament.

THE ENERGY OF GOLDEN REFLECTION

The colour gold symbolises abundance, wealth, prestige, prosperity and luxury. It is the colour of success, achievements, triumph and optimism. It is associated with quality, prestige, sophistication and elegance. Gold attracts the eye and represents inspiration and the activation of spiritual energy. It can improve mental and physical health, while also lighting the way to future goals and bringing success, since it is associated with the energy of the sun and, in turn, with life energy, strength and self-confidence. It helps to achieve spiritual enlightenment and to gain knowledge and a deeper understanding of one’s own self and soul. It celebrates successes and motivates people to reach their potential. Gold is optimistic and positive, and adds richness and warmth to everything it is associated with, thus illuminating and enhancing other things around it as well. The colour gold increases passion and charisma, as well as compassion and understanding.

Gold is a sacred colour in both religious and magical contexts. It represents divine qualities, which is why many of the objects used in sacred rituals are made of gold or gold-coloured. It is associated with pre-eminence, has a frequency of higher protection, and signifies total integration and spiritual service.

Why plate items in gold? Because humans also have a little gold in their bodies. What connects the individual human to their soul in the physical sense is gold. This connection is ‘golden’. Unless one ‘gilds’ oneself spiritually, one cannot come closer to God, to knowing oneself, to a deeper realisation that one is a spiritual being. A spiritual being can only develop in a physical body.
