Description of the Artwork “Red sprites”
Red sprites are a natural optical phenomenon that occurs during severe thunderstorms in the upper atmosphere. Sprites appear as glowing reddish-orange flashes and last no more than a few milliseconds. Unlike normal thunderstorms, Sprites release an electrical charge up through the atmosphere rather than downwards, which is why they are also called "Rising Lightning". Relatives of red sprites are blue jets, elves, and hobgoblins. These amazing flashes above thunderstorms are difficult to see from the surface of the planet, due to their fleeting nature and height. They are mainly observed in mountainous regions of North America and Asia. However, material wizards from the California Institute of Astrophysics have found that red Sprites can appear not only on earth, but also on Jupiter and Venus. There is an assumption that in ancient times people mistook such atmospheric disturbances for elemental spirits, or elementals. This gives this phenomenon an additional aura of mystery and triumph.
Artwork in the interior
Mistyka, Russia
In my work, I explore the multidimensionality of space, the nature of light and sound, delving into the mysteries of the universe and unusual phenomena. I have always been attracted to the unknown - that which lies beyond the perception of three-dimensional reality. The images of my paintings are filled with an atmosphere of mystery and numinosity, creating space for reflection and interpretation. Each composition becomes for me a kind of dialogue with the otherworldly. I strive to lift the veil of secrets in order to get closer to the Source, to those truths that can change our perception of the world. I like to experiment with different materials and techniques, which allows me to find new ways to express my ideas. I work in such mediums as painting, graphics, audiovisual performance and installation. Each piece becomes a unique experience, reflecting my desire for exploration and self-expression. My creativity is not just a process of creation; it is a journey deep into myself and into the infinity of the surrounding world, where each work opens up new horizons of understanding and perception.
