7th picture of 9 What is this picture about, considering the title "Invisible Sword" and the lines "In my hands an invisible sword flashes, ready to cut through the entire army of evil":
This picture is a deep reflection on the power of words, thoughts, wisdom and truth as weapons in the fight against evil, ignorance or inner demons.
* "Invisible Sword" as a Pen: The pen is a classic symbol of writing, words, knowledge, wisdom, law and enlightenment. In the context of the "invisible sword", the pen becomes a metaphor:
* The powers of thought and words: True power is not always physical. The word can be sharper than the sword, capable of "cutting" lies, ignorance and prejudice.
* Influences and transformations: A written word, idea or truth can change the world and fight evil more effectively than brute force.
* Spiritual weapons: The "army of evil" can be not only an external force, but also internal vices, fears, delusions. In this case, the "invisible sword" is a spiritual weapon, self-awareness that cuts through illusions.
* Blood / Essence / Sacrifice: Red drops flowing from the pen and the red stain underneath can symbolize:
* Sacrifice: A writer, thinker, or one who carries the truth can sacrifice a part of himself, his "blood" (life force, suffering), to forge this "word-sword".
* Truth: Red can mean life force, truth that "pours" and becomes visible.
* Imprint / Trace: The stain can be an imprint of the impact of this "sword", symbolizing the consequences or effects of its use.
* Fight against "evil": If the "army of evil" is ignorance, injustice, lies, then the "invisible sword" is an instrument of education, criticism, analysis, which exposes and destroys these phenomena. The golden color of the pen can symbolize the divine or pure nature of this truth.
* The creative act and its consequences: The pen is also an instrument of creativity. The painting can be a metaphor for the power of art and creativity in the fight for a better future, capable of "cutting" darkness and injustice.
Overall, "The Invisible Sword" is a powerful and deeply symbolic work that glorifies the power of thought, word and truth as the highest weapon against any evil. The painting invites the viewer to reflect on the inner strength that each of us can use to fight negativity in the world and within ourselves

I was born in Turkmenistan, later lived in Russia, and now reside in Poland — surrounded by forests and silence. My journey into art began not in schools or studios, but in dreams — vivid, symbolic, and often prophetic. I see my paintings as messages from the unconscious, shaped by emotion, inner vision, and mystical experience.

Each of my works reflects an inner state — sometimes love, sometimes longing, sometimes a silent, wordless knowing. I do not paint on commission; I only create what truly moves me. My style blends mysticism, symbolism, and raw emotion, often inspired by ancient archetypes and spiritual encounters.

For me, art is the alchemy of oil paint and canvas — a way to unite the invisible with the visible, to give form to something sacred and deeply personal.

My paintings are not about beauty — they are symbolism and emotions sealed onto canvas with paint.
