Paintings, photos from Passepartout Above eternal rest

The artistic canvas depicts the high shore of the lake, a huge beautiful sky at sunset with pale purple clouds and a small wooden church standing alone on the shore. Next to the church there is an old cemetery with wooden crosses that have been crooked from time. The viewer seems to feel all the harsh beauty of Russian nature, the coldness of its winds, the power of rivers and the vast distance of fields. And in this simple plot is hidden the deep philosophy of life and death, the foundations of the Russian folk spirit. These are reflections on God, life and man, his place in the world, memory and the future. The image of a small wooden church is the image of the person himself, looking for the truth of God on earth, striving for light, for life, for love, but often not finding them. This is a picture about hope, about the transience of life, about the fact that each of us feels his connection with something majestic and grandiose, whose name for us is found in terms of religious rather than material. In the picture there is a place for a feeling of subtle longing, loneliness, but at the same time there is a lot of faith in it, faith in the future heavenly joy. There are also feelings of peace and greatness of the world created by the Creator.
