Work No. 1
INTROSPECTION
Every image has a double reality: one concrete, material, corporal, perceptible by our senses, and another one, spiritual, psychological, emotional, which acts over our soul. Hence, the Introspection, this penetration into the essence of all things and especially in the continuous, spherical shape, with an open window to the internal structure, can lead us with the imagination to the ancestral myth of the fecund Cosmological Egg, the virtual germ of life, the birth of the first cellular unit.
Work No. 2
THE GATE TO THE GODS KINGDOM
The Gate is like a triumph arch rising from the Ground, high, to the Sky, but with the roots well in-fixed into Life, with the forehead leaned on Time. It opens new ways to the heart of the Earth and to the Heavens.
The Gate delimitates the Profane from the Sacred zones, like a magnificent shield or a huge amulet. The Gate constitutes the most elaborate and explicit expression of who can and who cannot trespass into the sacred space.
Work No. 3
MOUNT TARANAKI – A MYTHICAL MOUNTAIN
Mount Taranaki, this unique natural environment, is considered as the belly button of the World.
It is a sacred place, like Mount Kilimanjaro and Fuji.
These Sacred Mountains are viewed as living creature, gifted with spiritual force concentrations.
They owe their locations to the primordial creating forces of the Mighty Spirit.

Dear Friend

good works

All three works by the romanian master Gheorghe Zaharia, beyond the virile formal beauty, are distinguished by the force of the symbol.
With master Zaharia, the thought, encoded in the solidity and concreteness of the sculpture, as a symbol, becomes a thought again, reveals itself, in a fertile, meditative communion with the viewer.
