Briefly about the painting:

The work was created in the artist’s favorite vertical compositional manner. Although the overall design in the painting is abstract-Cubist, the viewer will certainly have an association with the planet (Earth) or the Sun flying in dark blue space. The picture related to the period of early non-creative work is the result of a special interweaving of the philosophy of denial of everything old, academic, and the expectation of the new. However, the author did not froze in anticipation of the emergence of that new, but started searching for his own place in the emerging art, the definition and construction of his creative method.
