Started this art on 26.05 and finished on 8.06.  Exactly 2 weeks every day of which I wanted to leave this work, but all the new victims brought me back to art. 

Yesterday my city was hit by two rocket attacks: a supermarket and a car wash. It happened at the moment when I was finishing the last mosaics. I flinched at the explosions, but didn't stop. The desire to finish the picture became stronger than fear. A picture, the main character of which undertook to decide fate. Chechnya, Syria, Georgia, Ukraine. This list will continue if at some point we give up.

Balls filled with blood symbolize 4 countries that fell victim to the bloody tyrant. The whole picture consists of many mosaics, each of which is not like the other. They symbolize lost lives. Hidden in the mosaics are dates that will respond with pain to those who fell victim to the events associated with them.

Tyrant

The art of the artist is not just a set of colors and shapes, it is the union of the soul and the material world, allowing you to immerse yourself in the infinity of imagination. Every centimeter of the canvas becomes a fertile soil on which the artist grows his world. He erects mountains and spreads oceans, filling the space with colors and forms that reflect his own experiences and views of the surrounding reality.

The burst of inspiration that embraces him like a violent ocean tide knows no bounds. He goes ahead of time, sweeping away all obstacles in his path

Infinity in the hands

My dear soul, you are one of many in this world,
You hear voices, see faces, but who cares about your story?

The world dances its timeless dance, yet in your heart, there's peace and quiet,
Here, within you, in this sacred candle, resides the answer, your inner light.

Amidst this turmoil and rush, it's within yourself you find your way,
You listen to yourself, see the truth; you're here, where you've always been — at home.

You meet yourself in the silence, attentively and sincerely,
And, you know, even in the darkest moments, here, you find the answers.

Hide the world beyond the horizon, close your eyes, and look within,
Your inner voice is a light in the darkness; it knows how to move forward.

Internal Dialogue

Once, you'll stop rushing and trying to prove something to someone. You'll look at the world with a smile, embracing all its craziness. You'll cease seeking approval from others, refraining from giving advice, judging, or trying to save anyone.

Over time, you'll find yourself gazing at the sky more often than at the busyness of others. You'll remember what inspires you. You'll stop apologizing, explaining, and arguing. You won't waste time on the mundane and temporary, discovering incredible peace and countless things that were unnoticed before. You'll no longer feel the need to meet others' expectations.

Tranquil Essence 

“He lived in a constant world of paranoia, convinced that only hypocrites and traitors surrounded him. In his world, there was no place for love or trust, only walls of fear and suspicion. Every glance, every word, every movement of those around him was a source of new anxiety, further confirming his belief that nobody loved him and everyone whispered behind his back...”

The world is not hostile, my friend. Even if someone 'bites' you, there will always be someone to mend your wounds. The world is not hostile, unless you make it so yourself.

Behind the back

Sometimes, it’s enough to simply allow yourself to be. To not demand immediate answers or solutions, or rush to understand everything around you. Sometimes all you need is to move with the wind, without trying to figure out who is your enemy and who is your friend. At times, it’s enough just to take one breath after another, without overthinking, as you walk your path.

Breathe

When words die on the lips, and truth and justice become victims of our fear and indifference. Silence can be a cover to avoid conflict, but sometimes it takes a terrible form - silent acceptance of injustice and evil.

When we remain silent, having witnessed terrible events, we are essentially giving our secret consent to their continuation. Our silence becomes a bloody veil, allowing evil to take more and more lives and spread its darkness.

Silence

A person, as they walk their life's path, begins it with an open heart. From the very first days, they are open to the world and willing to let anyone who offers them a smile into their heart. With time, they gain more experience, and this experience teaches them to establish boundaries and distinguish genuine smiles from fake ones. 

As a result, the path to their heart becomes more challenging, as it passes through the jaws of the guard that has settled within their chest. Now the person discerns. Now they know how to shield themselves from anything tainted with deceit.

With an open heart

People

In this frozen landscape of the inner world, where emotions are frozen like sources under a thick layer of ice, we stand before the inevitability of time. The snow-covered street could have been a symbol of purity and innocence, but in the cold of our emotions, it becomes a field strewn with traps, where each step may lead to loss. Another winter is like glass swallowed by the cold of time

Another Winter 

City of Sins

In my hands, I always hold seeds. I warm them in the cold winter to sow the earth in spring. You never know what will sprout from them, and you never want to wait for the first shoots, but I always do. I give them my last drop of water and shelter them on cold nights because I know that one sunny day, they will sprout, reaching for the sun.

Grow

Blossoming Mind

Too often, he waits for the moment when he will feel fully ready to start something new. But the real secret to success is simply to begin, despite his doubts and uncertainties. Every great traveler started with the first step, every master of his craft was once a beginner. He just needs to allow himself to be imperfect and start moving forward. Opportunities and breakthroughs await those who dare to act, no matter what..
