The Facets of Myth:
The "Spring's Eve Dream" series is an investigation into the theme of immortality under the conditions of the Post-Anthropocene. The artist creates "hybrid artifacts", where the cross-cultural myth of the golden apples of Avalon (a symbol of eternal youth and absolute knowledge) collides with questions of a technological future and the existential choices of modern humanity. The works in this series exist on the threshold between painting and object, drawing the viewer into a direct visual, tactile, olfactory, and auditory engagement with a materialized philosophical concept.
Technically, the series traces the further evolution of the author's "creative alchemy" method, uniting a spectrum of mixed media canvases in complex techniques that incorporate inclusions which disrupt the boundary between the plane of the "painted" and the volumetric 4-dimensional world. The four-dimensionality is not accidental, as the fourth element — time — is also present within the objects themselves, in their semantic codes and material "time capsules" embedded in the works.
The value of the series lies in its conceptual and material density, which translates timeless questions into the register of contemporary art. It responds to a key demand of the epoch — the search for spiritual coordinates and a "new sacrality" in the face of ecological and technological rupture. Here, the artist does not illustrate the theme of immortality but constructs an environment for the viewer's personal choice between the present and the future, the "Way of Combustion" (Via Combusta) and the "Way of Life" (Via Vitalis). Thus, the works become not merely objects, but tools for self-inquiry, which establishes their status as pertinent statements and their significance for collectors.
