About the work:
Lao Tzy “Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.”
Once the day to give yourself up to the infinity will come. To leave your body behind. This makes your life priceless and gives you a key to immortality. If you look at this piece you’ll see a red river. It mysteriously surfaces from the depths of limitless oblivion and disappears immediately beyond the horizon. The circle symbolizes the cyclic nature of the process, the rich texture of the tree seduces with its mystery. The unknown is right in front of you. Do you dare to face the truth? To understand the boundaries of your life? Only the sharp witted and strong willed have the guts to do that.

About series of works "Birth&Death":
I’ve worked restlessly for two years while contemplating on the fate human life and on the miracle of birth. And finally I’m proud to present you my series of works “Birth&Death”.
You are getting closer to the truth. It’s already hard to count the number of books that’ve been read. Nevertheless you are still stubbornly looking for the answer to these eternal questions "Who am I?", "What will happen to me after my death?", "Why am I here?", Is there nothing waiting for me there only darkness? ". These thoughts visit you, don’t they? They visit me and probably every person capable of complex thought.
“Birth&Death” are totem-preachers, that help morph your space into a place of philosophical discoveries.
When I was preparing materials for this series I knew with certainty that it had to be oak. Wood, as its commonly known, is a live material, warm to the touch. Oak wood is a very unique type of wood. Here are a few interesting facts. From ancient times the oak tree was a symbol of power, morality, endurance and knowledge. Also this tree use to be perceived as a conductor of cosmic energy, a gate between two worlds, capable of empowering and enlightening you. In ancient Greece, the rustling leaves of this tree determined the future.
This whole series is made in a unique handcrafting technique using the luxurious oak material.

Materials used:

Wood, aniline, acrylic
