​Medinis – The Prussian God of Forests.

Artist: Andrzej Masianis

Technique: Acrylic on canvas

Dimensions: 60x80 cm

​Prussian Mythology – A Forgotten World.

The Prussians, who once inhabited the areas of today's Masuria, Warmia, and the Kaliningrad Oblast, lived in deep symbiosis with nature. Their pantheon was full of deities associated with the elements.

The figure of Medinis reminds us of a time when forests were sacred groves, and every whisper of the leaves held meaning. The painting is an attempt to capture the spirit of ancient beliefs in a modern, expressive form.
