As in the black paintings from this series, the artist refers to the struggle of opposites in each of us. A frame burnt to coal and a stormy sea - fire and water, destruction and life. The white color in this painting is a symbol of purity and a new start. The black and White series of paintings with the sea are entirely about inner experiences, psychotherapy, living and emotions. After working through the trauma, a new, free life begins, past experience is gratefully accepted, life begins with a clean slate, as it were. The golden waves of paint behind gives the painting a touch of modern conceptual art and makes a contrast with a calm water.

My Black'n'White series are based on my research on the symbolic representation of black and white. Society has designated black as a symbol of darkness and evil, and white — purity, correctness and goodness. Society in its tradition normally fosters any desire to flee from the first and strive to the latter.

To my mind unconsciousness is the real darkness. Any attempt to present only your ‘bright’ side to the world and hide the other, while denying, ignoring and glossing over your own shortcomings, is what truly leads to self-destruction.

But without a shadow, there is no light.

All feelings and emotions must exist in harmony. The flame of fierce starts to devour its surroundings only if it gets out of control, the same way the kindest human traits get taken over by a destructive tsunami.

Black is just black.
White is just white.
Become yourself, not the best version of yourself.

The charcoal frame is covered with yacht varnish.

To your attention, I provide only the best and only original artworks. So you can be sure of the quality and uniqueness of the selected painting.
