When I started working on the sketches for this painting, I wanted to cover a completely different topic. I assumed that it would be a picture about the homeland, about the mother and about uneasy feelings, about personal experiences and life's twists and turns. Initially the mood of the picture was supposed to be more dramatic and the content more domestic. I made a sketch and started to work on the canvas, but realized I was not connected with the subject matter well enough and decided to wait a little longer until time would tell me what to do next. Time was silent for quite a long time, but this year it took pity on me and showed me the direction. I've completely rethought both the plot and the approach to my work. In some ancient myths in various world cultures, there is a certain divine being in the form of a sacred celestial cow that grazes in the heavenly pastures and then returns home in the evening, it wanders across the sky, its milk splushes from its udders and the drops of this heavenly milk are stars and constellations, and the Milky Way is the way this divine cow returns to earth from its pasture. The first incarnation of the divinity is a silhouette of a black cow with white spots, which tries to merge with the night sky and to dissolve in it and become a part of the vast cosmos, and its mooing informs the world of men of the upcoming silence of the night. The second reincarnation of this divinity is represented by the image of the mother, immersed in peaceful slumber. The bucket full of "heavenly milk" is a metaphor for the emerging moonlight and the red sun means the light of the setting sun. This endless cycle of day and night is as ancient as our world, it is represented in the painting by images and metaphors from early eastern mythology, but with Ukrainian national character. I have always been amazed at how people and cultures and religions in this world are connected by invisible threads, and I think a better educated person could even describe and explain it drawing on anthropological research or study of the world religions origin and their connection to ancient Sumerian and Egyptian early religious cults etc. But I am not aware of this approach, and all I’ve got, as an artist, is intuition and figurative thinking. Apparently this is also a method that is an empirical approach of awareness of being a part of civilization.
