triptychs, quadriptychs, diptychs and a single painting “Elemental Harmony”, which can be called a reference point.
To demonstrate the cycle of paintings, a closed exhibition space of a separate exhibition hall of round or rectangular shape is assumed. Linear order is just as important as the order of opposing groups of paintings whose energies are perceived by the viewer as a mental pentagram inside the circle. According to Pythagoras, the pentagram (or hygie) is a mathematical perfection that hides the golden ratio. An interesting fact is that in the dimensions of the paintings there is a constant constant value equal to 208 cm, which is interpreted in different paintings as length and height.
The cycle “Elemental Harmony” can be considered the beginning of the cycle. The artist turns to the traditional philosophical concepts of the four elements and depicts them at the time of the cataclysm of creating the “primary substance”. In the picture, conflicting complex color masses of ocher-orange and azure-blue tones are visible, in the center of which the silhouette of the eye sockets is read. The author draws a picturesque metaphor that reminds the viewer of the biblical theme of the "All-Seeing Eye" of the Creator.
Opposite the painting “Elemental Harmony” there should be a diptych consisting of the paintings “The Incomprehensible Horizons of Eternity” and “The Speed of Light”, in which the artist mentally went beyond the limits of the Solar System and creatively reflected the latest achievements of astrophysics in the representation of interstellar galactic spaces.
