И крылья в золоте небес
Горит огонь водой желанной
Источник чистый всех сердец.

butterfly, moth GK. ψυχή — "soul", "butterfly"]. butterfly ---- the Insect squad Lepidoptera Papilio family. In many cultures symbolizes the capacity for transformation and beauty and the transitory nature of joy and life. As a symbol of the soul is found in Zaire, Central Asia, Mexico, New Zealand, the Maori. Many well-known omens and superstitions linking of butterflies, especially night, with the souls of the dead. The most striking example of this is the butterfly "dead head". Most significant to the symbolism of butterfly has a cycle of its development: a voracious caterpillar worldly — life; dark pupa survived the winter — death; carefree and lighthearted butterfly (Which does not eat does not drink and the only purpose of which is love) is the rebirth, the flight of the soul. Connects symbolism: death (doll, zapelenutogo in a shroud), periodicity and immortality (resurrection) life. Perhaps the practice of mummification in Others. Egypt had their model for the metamorphosis of insects. "The miracle of passing from one to another state, this is the miracle of becoming sluggish caterpillar, the pupa is dull, soft beautiful butterfly, deeply touched the man, became his own spiritual transformations, gave him hope that someday he will leave the ground and rise into illumined by the light of the sphere of eternity." E. Eppley is currently the metaphor of frivolity and vernosti, cheerful and carefree perception and lifestyle, or beauty, often empty and seductive. Wed.: "butterfly-something ephemeral", I float like a butterfly". In some graphical emblems and pictograms indicates the art, iridescence, often associated with children's creativity. ---- The insect, which in many cultures symbolizes, on the one hand, the ability to transformations and the beauty and the transitory nature of joy. For this reason the butterfly was depicted on old grave headstones (see the Death of characters). As shown by its Greek name is psyche, the butterfly, like the bird, is "an animate being". In the popular imagination, insect, associated with the other world, the incarnation of the soul. Another facet of the symbolism of the butterflies, is based on their metamorphosis. Like the egg, the pupa of a butterfly is seen as the reservoir of potential existence (life), and the exit of an adult insect a symbol of resurrection, birth or liberation from the grave. The myth of psyche, represented with butterfly wings, appeals to this aspect of the symbolism of butterflies. Core values: lightness, inconstancy — moth in the West; the soul, immortality, rebirth and resurrection, renewal and immortality; the sublime; one of the forms of psyche.

Antiquity because of the similarity with the shape of the Labrys, the butterfly is a symbol of the great Goddess which includes "all previous incarnations and hope future generations". As with classical antiquity believed, the soul leaves the body in the form of a butterfly. Emerging from the cocoon, the butterfly is a symbol of the soul released from the body at death. Often it's associated with the dead themselves[2]. Aristotle points to it (like birds) "animacy"[3]. The widely known myth of psyche liberated from death for striking the Zeus because of her love for Cupid. On Pompeian frescoes depicted the Psyche of a young girl (or girl) with wings of a butterfly[4]. As the personification of the soul, the breath, the Psyche often appears in the form of a butterfly departing from a funeral pyre. Perhaps these emblems date back to the common in the III—I centuries BC gems with the plot of catching butterflies-Psiha holding the burning torch of Cupid. Night butterflies (moths) are the symbol of secret wisdom, hidden in darkness (ignorance). Stages of development of butterflies is correlated with the stages of initiation (initiation): from egg to larvae — ignorant, helpless, "dead"; from larva to chrysalis (the tomb of the mysteries) is looking and thinking people; from pupae to adult — developed, perfected and enlightened soul is initiated, leaving the grave of his original nature.

China Butterfly or moth (Hu di) is the emblem of longevity (renewal and immortality ?), entertainment (leisure in abundance) and lovers. The Chinese word for butterfly is plum and the number seventy — homonomy / for butterfly ideogram "t ie" ohmophonica expressions "venerable (great) age" and "seventy years." "The butterfly is a sign of marital happiness; in fact it could be called the Chinese Cupid.

In this he excelled and rose to high rank"[7]. A young lover who wants to drink/drinking flower juice. The expression "the moth maddened and wild bee" means seksualny communication. Beloved dead can come forth from the grave in the form of a butterfly. Jointz a dream in which he turned into a butterfly and gained great happiness due to which the butterfly is often seen as a symbol of joy and happiness. Something similar to the image of psyche is found in the myth of the Immortal Gardener, yuan-Ko (Yuan-K'o), whose beloved wife who taught [people] the breeding of silkworms, she can turn into him. In combination: with plum tree long life, beauty in old age, longevity and beauty, virgin beauty (?); with a cat — the wish to live to 80 years; with a feather — longevity; with chrysanthemum: is beauty in old age, can serve as a symbol of autumn. Japan because of its grace and lightness, is a symbol of femininity, young women, ecstatic joy. Also — women's bustle and vanity of the craft of the geisha or the temporary mistress. Pair of "dancing" around one another butterflies represent marital happiness. White butterfly — the spirit of the deceased. Air, as if disembodied, butterflies are seen as wandering souls and meeting with a butterfly heralds the arrival of a guest or the death of someone from family. Butterfly wings are a common attribute of wizards in fairy tales. Mesoamerica the Aztecs the butterfly "papalotl", serves as a symbol of the soul or breath of life, flying off with the last breath of a dying man. Fluttering amongst the flowers butterflies represent the souls of the fallen on the battlefield of soldiers[8]. Fallen warriors accompany the Sun until noon, in the first half of its visible path across the sky, and then fall to the earth as hummingbirds and butterflies[9]. The symbol of the souls of fallen warriors, the Aztecs, sacrificed to some Mexican God. Attribute Xochipilli (God of spring vegetation, love, ball games), depicted sitting among flowers and butterflies. Chopped stone knives (itzel) — butterfly goddess Itzpapalotl, night spirit flaming stars and a symbol of the souls of the dead childbirth women. Also — the symbol of swaying fire associated with the Sun. Correlation of butterflies with flame, probably based similarity in flight fluttering of bright wings shimmering with fiery tongues. The Aztec fire God has as an attribute an ornamental breast plate, known as the "obsidian butterfly". Like flint, obsidian is regarded as a fire stone, a well-known also its use as the blades of the ritual knives for the sacrifice. In the "House of the eagles (or Warriors)" Sun depicted in the form of a butterfly. The symbol of daylight and the sun's fire — and, therefore, the soul of a warrior butterfly for the ancient Mexicans also serves as a symbol of "Black Sun", which was held in his night journey the underworld. Thus, the butterfly is a symbol of chthonic hidden fire, associated with ideas of sacrifice, death and resurrection. In Aztec carving, the butterfly often serves as an alternative sign for the five — number associated with a center of the Earth[10]).

The numbness and insensitivity still doll — a symbol of death. The transitional state of the body and its vital functions and final liberation of the soul, which is destined to happen in the fire. Flit — heavenly soul, tearing the bonds of matter to dissolve in the ether from which it came. Modern psychoanalysis sees in the butterfly a symbol of rebirth[16]. Also — a symbol of the soul and of unconscious attraction towards the light[17]. Seen in a dream, means the revival associated with the process of mental transformation, a liberation from the shackles of his / her own self is Often used as a sign of psychological, parapsychological and psychiatric societies and institutions, often in combination with the letter "psi".

Polina Ogiy was born in Kharkov . She quickly shows great interest in art and all its expressions, finishing her studies at the High School of Arts and Music. Then she enrolls at the Moscow State Art and Design Academy by Stroganov, where she becomes expert in drawing, painting, design and sculpture.In 1999, she got a degree as Master of Fine Art. In 2004 Polina won the first prize at the International Architecture Competition. She is currently working in the fields of painting, sculpture, architecture, interior design, exclusive decoration and painting. "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."(The first Epistle of St. an. St. John The Evangelist) Art is the creator soul delight spilled on canvas, embodied in marble, paper, notes in the form, line, color, sound, word, movement and thousands of other creative expressions. This is awareness of Genesis, understanding of the soul creating the fabric of life .Works of art are true, pure symbols imprinted by the hand of the artist. They are characters of life, love, harmony and symmetry, sacred geometry of destiny. The world is ruled by symbols. And the true symbols express the divine harmony.If you're a creative person, the main energy that moves your hand is love, passion to cognition for the essence of things and phenomena. This is love and admiration, inspiration by the beauty of a landscape, character, object, myth or legend. The delight of my soul reflects the spiritual essence and symbolism of the Muse selected.Creativity is the destination of the soul incarnate in a person. We all are the co-creators of God, and everyone is an architect of his own life and world view. Convergence of matter and spirit, the ancient alchemy of human life are nothing else, but a splash of creative energy of spirit in matter.For me it is the music of my soul embodied in line and color, its trace through the time and space. Painting and sculpture are like my natural breath and my self expression. The motivation is simple - to live and create. An artist is the crystal, which stops the time in its purpose. An artist displays the Genesis, depicts the beauty and perfection of the moment. The artist perceives with his heart, not his eyes. An artist opens for the viewer the door to the wordlessness and guides to the pure original source of Life.Canvas is a material body, the image on the canvas is the artist soul cast.
