About The Artwork

The legend is famous: Prometheus brought fire to the human world. But fire was in various manifestations at all times of human existence, therefore it was difficult for ancient people to be surprised with this phenomenon. To frighten - yes, but not to surprise. There is another version of this event. In the distant, past times, when the first people were really wild and “dark”, a certain “god” came, who brought people not fire, but light, the light of knowledge. Prometheus carried enlightenment, for which he was punished by “higher Gods,” because knowledge, at all times, is what is most valuable and is often forbidden. It seems to me that this version of the legend is more like the truth.

I now live in Portland, Oregon, but I was born in the Kyrgyz Republic when it was still the USSR. This is a mountainous area, where it is sunny 300 days a year. I saw clear sky day and night. Even in early childhood, I was struck by this bottomless sky and stars, which seemed very close and accessible. I felt an incomprehensible involvement with the cosmos, asked "strange" questions to people around me, and if they could not explain, then life itself gave clues. My unanswered questions gave rise to my interest in the secret and esoteric. My perception and understanding of the surrounding metaphysical space and reality is reflected in my creative work. I can only show how I see, understand and feel this world, and cannot impose my opinion on others. Welcome to a strange world, painted in a good mood, with love for the world and gratitude.
