Life is full of indulgences, especially in the form of wine and culinary delicacies. People often use such things to commemorate a significant occasion or just to reward themselves after a long week.

Though people’s taste and preferences differ greatly, the satisfaction that comes along with these treats remains consistent.

Victor uses food and spirits in many of his paintings. He celebrates them as an outlet or sense of comfort among mankind- a comfort that has evolved but remained substantial across the ages. We want to explore a few of these artworks with you today…

Wine Masters is our first painting. This one has wine and cheese at the forefront of the work. This particular representation has a timely feel to it. Notice the dust upon the bottles. Yet, the cheese brings forth a more modern aspect further suggesting its evolution throughout time.

In Cup Bearer (one of Victor’s favorite pieces), we see a more ancient version of wine and the merchants that relied upon it for their livelihood. The amphora, in the middle of the painting, captures the tasting of the wine.

Note the historic Tanais site in South Russia – the place near which Victor Bregeda was born and has lived most of his life.

Our next artwork is Taste of Inspiration. It plays upon the comforts that allow the mind to open and stimulate creativity. It has an almost whimsical feel to it. Yet again, we see the wine and cheese with a new addition present in the outline of a fish.

These elements play out to be our artist’s muse. These are his resources for influential meditation.

Finally, we come to one of the most popular modern day comforts, the cheeseburger. But wait, this is not just any cheeseburger. No. This is the Big Mac. Victor plays upon its soaring popularity and people’s elated reaction to it. And of course, what would this burger be without its token side of French fries?

What an incredible notion- to capture the use of food and wine over the course of time. These essential ingredients make way for some tempting art! Don’t you think?
