The Saint Petersburg Ring Road is a 142 km orbital freeway encircling Saint Petersburg, Russia. A part of it is crossing the Gulf of Finland with the six-lane causeway, including bridges, trestles, man-made islands. After more than two decades of construction, the completed Ring Road was officially opened on 12 August 2011 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Petersburg_Ring_Road).

I had been lived in St. Petersburg for over 10 years. I know that its channels and bridges became an inspiration for many poets and artists, and I am not an exception. I like the play of light on the water, and I love to show it in my paintings.

This is an original painting prepared in impressionism style, illustrating the view of an installation "My heart is empty like a mirror - Odessa Episode" by Gian Maria Tosatti took place in winter 2020-2021 in Odesa, Ukraine. 
This art object made a great impression on me so I painted it from my memory basing on emotions and feelings.

Ligths on the water (Kuialnyk lake)

The world tree is a motif present in several religions and mythologies, particularly Indo-European religions, Siberian religions, and Native American religions. The world tree is represented as a colossal tree that supports the heavens, thereby connecting the heavens, the terrestrial world, and, through its roots, the underworld. It may also be strongly connected to the motif of the tree of life, but it is the source of wisdom of the ages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_tree

Mixed technique: acrylic painting, nature material, decoupage, papier-mâché, floor coverings (laminate).

I prepared this piece of art as a present for the Theatre "Tvari" (The Creatures) https://www.facebook.com/to.tvari

During the work on the picture, I listened to the audiobooks "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett and "Messiah cleans the hard drive" by Oldy, "The Demiurge Games" by Peter Bormor, d a lot of other good books, but these three were the most important ones. The painting took me about 1.5 months including preparing the thumbnails and finding all needed materials.
