Legends of supreme world

An artist often has to wonder how to express the unspeakable, the intimate that we only feel. Something that does not have a dense and visible form that can simply be sketched. That amazing and beautiful thing for which all the symbols in the cultures of peoples were created.
For me, it has always been especially interesting to study the interaction of different cultures and peoples, their movement across our planet.
In this painting I tried to express the ineffable - human genetics. Seeing this image as the features of ancestors cast together, I tried to express the complex meaning of the artwork in the movements of the hands, which symbolize the DNA molecule, in the intersection of sights.
To put it in simple terms, the meaning of the painting is: in each of us many lives of people are connected, without whom we could not have been born.
The angel symbolizes the spirituality, the spark that is inside everyone and makes us alive. The African person in the center symbolizes that humanity originated from Africa. In each of us, deep in our genes, lies the chromosome of the very first African person. The Indian girl symbolizes the Indo-European peoples, who had such a powerful influence on the formation of the genetic composition of modern humanity that their chromosomes are found in most modern peoples. And it was no coincidence that I brought her to the forefront, and it is in her hands that a new wonderful seed of birth will be created. This was done to express special respect for the influence of India and its culture throughout the world.
The girl in the hijab personifies the peoples of Asia, especially the territories through which many, many peoples passed from Africa, either maintaining their individuality, or dissolving into history, preserving the memory of themselves only at the genetic level. A girl in a traditional Altai hat made of fox paws symbolizes the Turkic peoples, whose enormous and most interesting contribution to the development of life on Earth is beyond doubt.
And yes, thoughts about who I am. What am I made of, of many, many lives, of myriads of cultures.
Together we create new beauty - a legend about how closely we are connected and how we are united in creating the future. A future, harmonious and beautiful, which we can only build together.
