Original artwork description:

My artworks always open from the side from which they themselves see fit. And it often happens that I want to show one story, but in the process I find out that the planned story turned out to be just a key to another. And at times it can be a whole corridor of doors and keys.
⠀
I am currently working on one order with three horses and a foal. And another image began to crawl through them. It appeared three weeks ago. He gave himself a little look and hid. But I managed to make a sketch and transfer it to the main cardboard. And then they wouldn't let me in at all. I even thought that with this started painting we have no future at all. A couple of days ago, I touched work again, and last night the door was completely opened for me. Many paintings have their own clear daily routine. Someone categorically does not make contact in the daytime or in the morning, but only requires the night. And this story is just like that.
⠀
I already understood that I wouldn’t sleep that night and was ready for it. My table is by the window. I can see how the dawn begins and the sun rises.
⠀
At first, I drew as if making my way by touch in the dark and didn’t understand at all where everything was going and whether it would come. I was not letting go of the thought that maybe nothing will come of this picture and that we need to try this plot again and maybe even in other material.
⠀
Outside the window, the sky began to change, and oddly enough, the process went on and it became easier for me. I still didn't feel where I was going, but there was a blind sense of trust in the process.
⠀
And suddenly (after a few hours of work), I realized that the door was wide open. And I have already been to this place and painted it many years ago. This is the gate and the waiting before crossing. The moon will leave and the way to our world will open. Some of them have already walked this road, but for others such a journey is the first time. Someone is calm and thoughtful, while others are worried and even a little impatient. They are waiting for someone and believe that they will come, but for someone there will be the first meeting and the first endless road.
⠀
In the morning I read that today is the summer solstice and the night before such a day is a magical time. This is the time when the veil between the worlds becomes very thin. New doors have opened today for old friends.
Are you waiting for someone?
