Prisoner of mind 25× 25 S. Szmelkowski (2025) Painting by Stanisław Szmelkowski (Ermolaev)
"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

* Conflict between the inner and the outer: The title "Prisoner of the Mind" perfectly matches the image. The rays coming from the head can symbolize thoughts, ideas, consciousness, creativity, or even an attempt to break through barriers. However, the background, reminiscent of a grid, suggests that the mind is in captivity, perhaps by its own limitations, fears, mental patterns, or external circumstances.
* Search for freedom: Closed eyes can mean both immersion in oneself (meditation, introspection), and detachment from external reality. The rays passing through the grid can symbolize an attempt to free oneself, to find a way out, or simply a manifestation of inner energy, which, despite imprisonment, continues to "shine".
* Psychological aspect: The painting is deeply psychological. It evokes reflections on inner barriers, on freedom of thought, on how we can be imprisoned in our own consciousness, and on how this consciousness can be a source of light and breakthrough.
* Spiritual or Meditative Aspect: Some may see this image as a meditation or spiritual awakening, where one "glows" from within, even if external circumstances are limiting.
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.
