Provenance: painting from the artist's studio, acquired from the heirs;- in july-august 2025, the presented painting was exhibited at the Portal 11 gallery (Kyiv, Ukraine) at the exhibition "Another Viewpoint. Late 1980s - Early 1990s".-Certificate of authenticity (COA) from the art gallery-A painting by a professional artist, executed in a combination of surrealism and esoteric abstraction. Executed with a rich, dramatic palette dominated by deep blues, crimson reds, and vibrant ochres, the painting masterfully balances geometric structure with organic, flowing forms.The composition is anchored by key symbols of enlightenment and universal order, immediately engaging the viewer in a dialogue about higher consciousness. At its core resides a pulsating, All-Seeing Eye (Eye of Providence) - a traditional symbol of divine watchfulness, omniscience, and insight - radiating golden light against a vortex of dark, swirling energies.Architectural elements, notably the multiple pyramidal and triangular forms, serve as structural conduits for energy and thought, elevating the mystical central eye to an apex of spiritual geometry. These sharp, rational shapes are juxtaposed against the canvas's lower and peripheral areas, where organic, dreamlike folds of color - reminiscent of deep cave systems or draped silk - imply the vast, untamed landscape of the inner psyche.The work's use of light and shadow is highly theatrical: a luminous, ethereal plane in the upper center contrasts sharply with the engulfing shadows that threaten to consume the figure. This tension between illumination and obscurity, structure and chaos, generates a profound sense of drama, suggesting a moment of critical self-realization or cosmic creation. This painting offers a commanding, intellectual journey, positioning the collector at the threshold of the known and the mystical.-Yaroslav Burda (1945-2022) - an outstanding Ukrainian artist, one of the representatives of the Western school of painting.
