These collections include 31 works completed between 2016 and 2020.

The first collection is represented by 15 works. In the process of its creation, the artist, as if at the beginning of an amazing journey, gets into the boat and joyfully contemplates the truly divine light of pure, bright landscapes that draws a single sky in front of him; he himself gets used to them, and the realization that the boat still exists somewhere below gives him peace of mind. Rising higher, the artist sees angels, but it's time to return and move on.

The second collection consists of 19 works. During this period, the artist's thoughts crystallize, do not intersect with each other. The bright, distant sky was replaced by a material underwater substance, and it became clear that the purpose of the trip was this immersion. The mind is now focused on objects that can be seen underwater. But the heavenly reflections of the rays do not leave the artist. Seeing them for the first time, they will now forever remain with him, no matter how deep the next immersion, and how far fate would have taken him.

Each work from this section has the same name - Portal. This name carries not so much artistic as philosophical and spiritual meaning. The portal is similar to the mandala.

The universality of the circle, which is the basis for any mandala, is the foundation for my reflections.

Looking at the picture, I do not think about other mandalas - which are part of some religions; I don't think about religions at all, I look at this circle, this portal, and just think about it.
