In the summer of 2014, I started painting this picture. But it was never completed when my father died in December. I don't like having unfinished work. But I continued to work hard on this picture on a subconscious level after the death of my father. And I realized that this picture is symbolic in the context of modern events and portends not only the death of my father. It was completed the day before the terrorist attack in Paris. And a little later - before the start of the war in Ukraine. In this painting, I used some of the methods of icon painting, which helped to synthesize monumentally personal grief and social tragedy. Everything is relative in this world. In this world, ready-made schemes for the perception of Good and Evil are imposed on us. Sometimes we are forced to make choices and trample on our conscience. The world is bleeding, but we do not think about this universal tragedy. Everything is relative in this world. In this world there is no clear boundary between Good and Evil. But in this world there is a clear boundary between Life and Death. Hands raised to the sky and the whole praying figure have a seal Doom. A state when everything is already predetermined, and Prayer is needed only so that complete self-destruction from grief and sadness does not occur. Prayer is a state between Heaven and Earth, between Life and Death. Prayer is a product of despair. And these Universal Rhythms of Fate sweep away everything in their path and mercilessly trample on everyone. And we, like dust, are lost in these endless expanses of the Universe.

I was born in Ukraine in the city of Zhytomyr. After the Kharkov State Art School in 1986 she worked in the Zhytomyr Regional Music and Drama Theatre. I. Kocherga for the position of head of the decoration shop. At the same time, I worked in a fashion studio as an artist-designer of clothes, and in my free time I was engaged in restoration and independently restored icons on a charitable basis in local churches. Since 1989, I began to work in the direction of sacred art and became the initiator of the creation of a family icon-painting workshop. Later, an icon painting school was organized. The method I taught was effective and different from the traditional. The classes were based on a deep study of the works of ancient icon painters, in the best traditions of sacred art, using constructive drawing, plastic anatomy combined with rhythms. In fact, icon painting is a very responsible occupation and requires too much effort. When you paint an icon, you face such tasks as conveying through the image of transcendence, lack of passion, anonymity of the author. And the difficulty lies in the fact that the icon, like no other work, shows all the imprints of the artist's mood and his emotional state. Later, the vector of my work changed dramatically, but an indelible trace of icon-painting rhythms remained on it. Rhythm affects us on a subconscious level. Rhythm as a visualization, as a reflection of interaction. In everything there is interaction, its circle is determined by the range of rhythm. The thought comes as a touch... and the picture becomes a prophecy. A prophecy about your inner states and family events... A prophecy of social cataclysms... and terror... And sometimes the result does not correspond to the original plan.... and I feel that the hand sometimes obeys some kind of Energy. Thus, the picture shows a premonition of sadness https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Presentiment/977315/4631680/view, who synthesized in himself personal grief - the death of his father and a public tragedy and the beginning of the war in Ukraine. The same premonition of war was the image of Hitler https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Hitler/977315/4631783/view and graphic works: harsh https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Drawing-Abstraction-Hitler -Severe-inevitability/977315/4685052/view and Malocclusion and bulging eyes https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Drawing-Malocclusion-and-bulging-eyes/977315/4685086/view.
