The white-gold color common for diptych with silver flickering of transparent layers “MADEFACTUM” creates an emotionally-illusive picture of the infinity of star galaxies. The artist associates the colorless vacuum of outer space with white or with “white light” containing electromagnetic waves of frequencies of the entire visible range.

In the missing sectors of the circular plane, two compositional arrays are located opposite each other: a quadriptych and two triptychs, which balance and close the space.

The quadriptych consists of four horizontally elongated canvases 75x208cm, respectively called “Magic of the relict forest”, “Riddles of the relict forest”, “Tales of the relict forest” and “The triumph of the relict forest”.

According to the artist’s intention, the quadriptych reflects the evolution of the transformation of cosmic meteorite and cometary elements that came to Earth into a living microbiological substance, which increased before the emergence of wildlife. The triumph of the relict forest was expressed in the author’s painting in the flowering of red flashes of “primroses”.

In the circular exposition space opposite the quadriptych are two triptychs. The first is devoted to the description of the birth of the elements of the Ocean. The left and right sides are represented by rectangles 112x208cm, in the center - vertical 208x75cm. Lateral canvases create a single picture of the latitude and depth of the vast expanses of water penetrated by volcanic explosions.

The ratio of color masses: fiery orange and deep purple-blue, create a coloristic picture of the subconscious feeling of the terrifying power of the elements of the Ocean.

On the central vertical canvas depicts (according to the Bible) the "earth" - a rock directed upward, as a metaphorical "constant of the gravitational influence of the Earth."

The paintings of the triptych are respectively named: “The Birth of the Ocean”, “The Firmament of the Earth” and “The Birth of Living Life”.

The second triptych is dedicated to the miracle of a change of seasons - the endless revival of Flora (according to the Bible - "Garden of Eden"), bearing fruit for the existence of earthly inhabitants. The left and right sides of the triptych are represented by elongated panoramic horizontals (75x208cm). By style, the lateral constructions of soaring complex green and azure blue massifs resemble landscape outlines, inside which there are free-diagonal border lines of convergence of the “color field”.

To orient the audience’s perception, the author through the names of the paintings gives a message to ancient Greek mythology: “The Creation of Demeter” and “The Return of Persephone”. Demeter - the goddess of fertility and agriculture, beloved of Zeus. The image of Persephone, their daughter, symbolically symbolizes the arrival of the summer period of time, including the period from the awakening of nature - spring to the extinction - of autumn.
