At first glance, this painting looks like a decorative artwork. Unusually bright blossoms in the branches are the center of the composition ...then, after a while, you see that these are butterflies. This painting evokes a line from Japanese poetry: "I thought, 'the blossom is back on the branch, ...but oh ...it's only a butterfly." Through these symbols in circular composition, the viewer looks in rounds. Thus, the profound, secret meaning of the painting is revealed. The metamorphosis from a slow-going caterpillar to a beautiful winged butterfly symbolizes the immortality and Transformation of man's soul on the way to God.

In every painting by Victor Bregeda, there is an unseen dialog between man and God. God is always present in Victor's art. In this particular painting, "The Transformation," it is His hand that is turning over the pages of the Holy Writ. God reveals the secrets of the Universe through the symbols, which one should know to understand. A small figure of man is trying to perceive something unknown and look beyond the borders of the visible world. In Bregeda's art, the man is always a seeker of truth and God's appearance in everything.
