The fascinating world of Jim Burns from the first minute captures the attention of the viewer, for a long time forcing to peer into the smallest details of the picture. The subjects of Burns’ paintings amaze with the depth of philosophical thought, the unexpected interpretation of events and their own view of what is happening on Earth as part of the universe. The work of Jim Burns “The Creation of the Idol” immerses the viewer immediately into the cosmic and ancient world, emphasizing the inseparability of these concepts.
