"All the bustle or dream of Sisyphus" (another name for the beetle Scoropeia - Sisyphus) Painting

I now live in Portland, Oregon, but I was born in the Kyrgyz Republic when it was still the USSR. This is a mountainous area, where it is sunny 300 days a year. I saw clear sky day and night. Even in early childhood, I was struck by this bottomless sky and stars, which seemed very close and accessible. I felt an incomprehensible involvement with the cosmos, asked "strange" questions to people around me, and if they could not explain, then life itself gave clues. My unanswered questions gave rise to my interest in the secret and esoteric. My perception and understanding of the surrounding metaphysical space and reality is reflected in my creative work. I can only show how I see, understand and feel this world, and cannot impose my opinion on others. Welcome to a strange world, painted in a good mood, with love for the world and gratitude.
