Nikatjef | B4.H3
FPG.24 1994 Calendar |
In Carpathian mythology, a tribe of insects known as the Lakin was
responsible for order and organisation in the world while a band of menacing
goblins known as the Hestas was constantly working to create disorder and
destructiveness. The evil Hestas would prey upon the eggs of the Lakin
in an effort to eliminate them because, once the eggs hatched, the insects
were too powerful a match for the Hestas. A sprite-like creature called
Nikatjef was named guardian of the eggs in this battle for balance and
harmony.
This would have been for the 1994 calendar. Painted 1993. |

This piece is given the title Nubians in FAT. The painting
seems not to have been finished, presumably because of deadline pressure
- see the detail image, where it is evident that only one of the goblins
has had the final coat of green added to his face.
