The white plant (a snowdrop) appears in Stovrag's paintings, and in the course of its journey, under the impact of light, it discreetly loses its whiteness and not only acquires colours often close to the hippie aesthetic, but also transforms to become, for example, a tree growing horizontally in an alternative reality or a mushroom with a flat cap. This life is watched over by "personalised pneuma". The Gentle Kingdom becomes a desirable world. It stems from the artist's rich imagination. The Gentle Kingdom feels at home in space. It is present in the universe. The Gentle Kingdom embraces the planets with care. It actually fills them. Long awaited, it responds to summons. It doesn't rule. It simply is! Utopia?
