All this is a true story about the inner state of the athlete before the start in the finals of the Olympic Games in 1996 in the city of Atlanta in the United States of America

The struggle between eternal rivals

Russia

USA

Gary Hall

Alexander Popov

These moments before the most important start in life are conveyed to us by the artist and the ideologist of the painting

This swim came to watch U.S. President Bill Clinton. His presence is also reflected in the picture!

This idea was seen and depicted by the artist, who as if denies the whole essence of being, asking the question: "Who are we?". We are the people on the razor blade between these worlds!!! Between these states

but inside there is hell!

Seeming calmness,

The painting excites

makes you think

and always takes

the contemplator to the secret

orners of his soul

Makes one move into this mystical world of fantasy, sci-fi, esotericism, magic, supernatural and hypnotic

It is inexplicable, but it is a fact

What is seen and felt remains for a lifetime

A spectator who watches it in static and sees all the dynamics.

And even going from the particular to the general and back again, the viewer participates in the performance-performance "painting-theater"

A big action with its beginning, intense content and unpredictable finale...

Who am I?

In what world am I?

And in the head and through the body in the form of goosebumps is the question

I want to come back to this work again and again

Painting portals?

philosophy of self-discovery?

Portal painting!

Welcome!
