«Beginning», cycle «We Are»
In the pantheon of Trypillian gods, one of the main places was assigned to the Great Mother Goddess - the feminine principle of fertility, the embodiment of the reproducing functions of the Earth, Nature, and Woman. That is why the cult of the mother is the basis of the ethnic dominant of the Ukrainian people and is associated with love for their native land. At the center of our spirituality is the woman-mother - this is the image of the Great Mother, the deity of the great-great-great-grandfathers of modern Ukrainians.
Since ancient times, in the image of the Mother Goddess, we see a circle - a symbol of the soul, a crescent with horns up (hands raised to the sky) - a symbol of the creative feminine principle (in our time - the Goddess-Oranta).
A rhombus with an equilateral oblique cross - a sign "sown field" - a symbol of Knowledge about the four Aspects of man, movement in cognition, the conditional division of space into fields (zones) of influence of the Aspects.
The guelder-rose is a tree of the Ukrainian genus. Once in ancient times, it was associated with the birth of the Universe, the fiery trinity: the Sun, the Moon and the Star. Therefore, the guelder received such a name from the Old Slavic name of the Sun - Kolo.
From time immemorial, the ancient Slavs perceived the guelder as a tree growing where peace, tranquility, happiness, joy, and prosperity reign, they considered it a symbol of the revival of life, its continuity, the immortality of the clan, a symbol of the connection between generations and pride in their ancestors.
The painting gives us a feminine creative energy, Peace, Love, Harmony, Health, Happiness, Well-being.
Cycle «We Are»
What were We? What will We be? What Are We?
This series is dedicated to defining the identification of the Ukrainian people, understanding what is inherent in us at the genetic level, what we use absolutely unconsciously to preserve our identity, which helps, protects and supports us, which makes us unique.
Once disappearing, our distant ancestors left us a powerful energy potential of knowledge, which is now stored in our genetic memory and, as a reminder, in artifacts in the form of sacred symbols.
This knowledge is important and relevant for each of us today, because it is based on the relationship between man and nature. They can be used as a tool for improvement, whereby everyone has the opportunity to experience the spiritual world, as well as to know the meaning of their arrival in this world. The personality of each person gets a chance to spiritually transform, which means that space and society will be transformed together with him. Sacred knowledge gives a person the strength to maintain a very fragile balance of good and evil in our modern complex world. They provide spiritual assistance and provide a chance to build a civilization in which spiritual values prevail.
