UNIVERSE OF INNER LIGHT

I created this picture especially for our group exhibition “The LIGHT” with @arrt_cy and just fell in love with it.

I thought about the idea of ​​artwork for quite a long time, what exactly I want to say. And as always in my abstract paintings, I decided to rely on my beliefs, feelings and experience.

All my life I have been observing how important it is to preserve, develop and protect your inner world and not succumb to unwanted influences from outside. And every difficult situation is primarily about an internal choice. Choose to succumb to it and fall into despondency, despair, anger, or take it as a lesson, a point of fasting and believe in yourself, your strength, in the world and find and/or create joy and opportunities. And if you choose to highlight your strength, originality, then a whole cosmos opens inside, and your possibilities begin to feel simply limitless, which gives rise to cool and bold actions outside.

Initially, the canvas was just near-dark blue - darkness. I added light with a thin uneven line. Gradually it became more and more, I did not want to stop. On the contrary, I gladly succumbed to the need to add more and more light colors. Gold potal enhanced this radiance. I stopped, reaching a sense of inner balance when looking at the picture. And I deliberately did not want to get rid of the dark in my work. Because this is not a hindrance to the light, and on the contrary, it makes it more obvious and radiant.

I want to accept the fullness of the world, see it as real, diverse, and choose my own in it.

In my opinion, I have created a very multi-layered work with a sense of the vibration of light. I want to peer into the depths and, as it were, find myself inside, wander between these layers, as if in a separate universe. Like meditation. It's about how I feel about myself.
