The MODI Art&Wine Gallery in Kyiv hosted a collective exhibition of paintings "Classics of the Genre", where my artworks were presented.

I take part in the art project "Cosmogony of Senses". I present a series of my artworks "Cosmic Rhapsody"

Korsaks Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art

Long ago, at the beginning of the worlds, Chaos possessed all the manifestations of Being. Everything was shapeless, incomprehensible, indefinite, undefined, and everything existed only in potential.... "But suddenly, from the depths of space, a spark of light appeared - the Light of Consciousness and a ray of Attention - the first attempt to generate Order.

This ray began to expand, conquering Chaos with its Light and Harmony. In the process of moving towards Order, it became stronger and stronger, revealing meanings and abilities that had not been manifested before. The Ray of Attention created forms, outlined boundaries, gave definitions, names. As a result, things, events, the idea of Space and Time, thinking, linguistic and intellectual constructions, etc. appeared.

With each step in the direction of Order, the Ray of Consciousness and Attention expanded the Universe, created new forms, civilizations, cultures, and complicated thinking and expectations.

However, when Thinking, as a manifestation of the Consciousness, reaches a certain development, it undergoes a transformation. It ceases to be a source of Beauty, Order, Harmony, and becomes a source of new Chaos. And the whole manifested Universe is threatened with returning to Chaos, and, perhaps, to the primary state of unmanifested Beingness.

And so, in the cycle of life, Consciousness, the Order it implements, and Chaos constantly interact and create new forms of Being. The movement from Chaos to Order is an endless search for Harmony, in which every carrier of the Consciousness is responsible for reducing the degree of entropy and chaos in the Universe and the reality that surrounds it.

Back in the days of the ancient Greek philosophers, Humanity created the concept of the Cosmos to counteract Chaos and preserve Order in the world (the ancient Greek "κόσμος" - "order, harmony"), the idea of the natural world as a plastically ordered harmonious whole, as a symbol of Order, Harmony and Beauty.

 In the series of my works "Cosmic Rhapsody" I try to convey emotions and a sense of reality through the greatness, harmony, and beauty of the Cosmos. I am sure that by creating paintings, embodying our idea of Beauty, each of us influences the Universe and the surrounding reality, adding Order and Harmony.
