Self-portrait
A three-dimensional script, symbolizing a stream of thoughts, merges into a shimmering black background.
This abstract writing is a habitual state of a person — living within thoughts.
The white egg on a black background symbolizes the birth of a personality conditioned by the flow of thought-forms.
The painting is double-sided and is assembled from nine canvases. The reverse side is like nine rooms in the house of the personality.
Each room is colored by an emotion or state — meditation, serenity, joy, inspiration, calm, sadness, despair, fatigue, anger.
The figures, painted in the color of the background, personify a person's ability to choose what they want to be.
The figures, painted in black, show how, captured by thoughts, a person loses this ability. All the rooms together form a prison of the mind.
