Dragan Bibin is a Serbian painter known for his work that explores themes of the human condition, particularly the darker aspects of human psyche and the struggles, fears, and anxieties that humans face. His art often involves the use of animals and eerie interiors to create a sense of unease and isolation. Deimos was the god of terror in ancient Greece, he was the son of Ares and Aphrodite, and the twin brother of Phobos, god of horror.
With this work I am exploring terror, rather than horror. The distinction was first characterized by the Gothic writer Ann Radcliffe. Terror is characterized by “obscurity” or indeterminacy in its treatment of potentially horrible events; it is this indeterminacy which leads to the sublime. She says in her essay that it “expands the soul and awakens the faculties to a high degree of life”.
