Serhii Brylov

Serhii Brylov "The Magic Flounder" Continuation. Working on the sculpture “The Magic Flounder”: Form modeling, image search, shaping the volume. The Magic Flounder is a symbol of desires that fulfills human whims, while reminding us of responsibility for our choices. It embodies temptation, greed, and the consequences of boundless striving for power and material wealth. Its image philosophically explores the theme of moral choice and the inner balance between modesty and selfishness. This creature seemingly grants freedom but actually tests a person, exposing their weaknesses. As a dweller of the ocean depths, the flounder also carries an ecological message — the power of nature to intervene when harmony is broken. It is a metaphor for spiritual transformation, an archetype of the magical mediator between what is wished for and what is real, echoing through fairy tales and myths of various cultures. The sculpture represents it not only as a fish but as an allegorical being — a bearer of deep wisdom and a challenge to the human soul.

Serhii Brylov "Space and time" The sculpture "Space and Time" symbolizes the inseparable unity of these two fundamental forms of existence of matter. She emphasizes that space and time do not exist independently, outside of matter that moves and changes. The sculpture reflects the idea that space is a form of existence of matter that characterizes its length and structure, and time is a form that expresses the duration of existence and the sequence of changes in the states of matter. These concepts are interconnected and manifest in the movement and development of material systems. The artwork emphasizes humanity's deep desire to understand the essence of space and time as reflected in culture and science, including references in ancient texts such as the Ramayana.

Serhii Brylov "Lion", plasticine, H-22 cm.Lion (lat. Panthera leo) is a species of predatory mammal, one of the five representatives of the genus Panthera, which belongs to the subfamily of big cats (Pantherinae) of the cat family (Felidae). Lions are carnivorous mammals and live in family groups, so-called prides. A pride consists of one to three males, several sexually mature females and lion cubs. Females hunt for the pride, and males protect the territory. The lion is called the "king of beasts." He is a traditional symbol of courage and power, embodying the power of the Sun and fire. In heraldry, the lion symbolizes royal dignity and nobility. In Scythian mythology, there is a griffin, that is, a lion with wings. In Egyptian, it is a symbol of divine power and royal dignity. "Stand like lions, for each other and hold on," advises the author of Veles's book. The name Leo bears one zodiacal constellation. The radiant of the Leonid meteor shower is also located in this constellation, which can be observed on November 17-18 and make a wish. In early Christian art, the lion symbolized the evangelist Mark, Saint Jerome, and even Jesus Christ himself.Лев (лат.
