About the Item

The painting is ready to hang, the painting has no decorative frame. The diptych "Let There Be Light With Us!" from the "City Stories" series presents an artistic interpretation of urban life under conditions of challenges and deprivation. The central element of these works — light — is revealed not only as a physical phenomenon but also as a symbol of survival, resilience, and hope. In the context of the destruction of energy infrastructure, when darkness becomes a constant companion, light takes on special value, becoming a source of inner strength and collective endurance. These works invite the viewer to reflect on the importance of light as a metaphor for life, which continues to pulse despite external chaos and destruction. This diptych resonates with the theme of antifragility, showing how, under mortal threat, personal and social structures adapt and find new paths to light. Light in these paintings is not merely a natural phenomenon, but a symbol of overcoming and resistance in the face of mortal danger. ———- The second painting completes the story, showing how light gradually fills the space despite the constant threat. It symbolizes not just the physical presence of light but also the inner transformation of people, who find the strength to carry on, adapt, and fight through trials.
