Memory Сells. Egypt. Painting

Egypt is a land created by man day after day, year after year, a work that is renewed without end, where the creations are mixed with the image of the Creator. There are no sharp differences between gods and people: there gods dwell among mortals; their faces are the same human faces or the images of animals that surround them on earth and in heaven. In every piece of the Egyptian land - water and universal, cosmic fire, death and resurrection, human essence and divine essence. That is why, when I saw one family of Egyptians, it seemed to me that the gods came to life, I wanted to draw them. The thinking of the ancient Egyptian people was not rational - logical, but figuratively - symbolic. There was a magic principle that all perfect, great things are reflected in something small, outwardly nondescript - both above and below, the macrocosm is equal to the microcosm. There were a lot of symbols in ancient Egypt. In the picture I drew some of them, for example Ankh is one of the most important ancient Egyptian symbols with the meaning of "life" ("immortality") or the Eye of Horus. The Eye of Horus is the emblem of the hawk-headed sky god Horus, a symbol of the all-seeing eye and the unity of the cosmos, the integrity of the universe. According to ancient Egyptian myth, the moon eye of Horus was snatched out by Set in the battle for supremacy among the gods, but after the victory of Horus in this battle, it grew again. This myth became the reason for the extreme popularity of the Eye of Horus as a warding off evil amulet. The spiral under the eye (shaped like a galaxy) symbolizes energy and perpetual motion. The Eye of Horus was also associated with healing, as ancient Egyptian physicians often viewed illness as analogous to the battle between Horus and Set. In mathematics, the Eye had a curious function - it was used to denote fractions. According to one version of the myth, Seth cut the torn out eye of Horus into 64 parts, so his incomplete image symbolizes some fractional number: the pupil is 1/4, the eyebrow is 1/8, etc. These are my memories, my acquaintance with Egypt
