There is a light and dark part in every person. It is important that both of them are in balance. It is impossible to reject your negatively colored emotions, it destroys the personality. Dark water symbolizes the work of the subconscious. Hand-fired frame - the power of anger. Only in the harmony of fire and water is there security and peace.
The technique of inversion in a brush stroke is inspired by David Ambarzumjan's paintings like a way to look inside.

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. Valeria also used gold leaf for this painting.
