Fuck Hard / Meaning of Life FOR SALE Oil on canvas, silver foil, 50x70 cm (2023). Sex is both divine and diabolical. When they are combined, an explosive release of a large amount of emotional energy occurs, which for a person is expressed in bright positive experiences. And only thanks to this energy is it possible for a new life to appear. “Fuck and multiply!” Due to the similarity of the Latin words “malum” (“evil”) and “mālum” (“apple”), it becomes obvious that in the Garden of Eden, not just an apple, but the fruit of Evil was eaten from the Tree of Knowledge, which made it possible for the first people to restore in itself the balance of the divine and the devil, necessary for the beginning of earthly life. So in an ordinary person from birth there is only the divine, and after the first sex, the devilish enters into him and life becomes full.

Die Hard / Meaning of Life FOR SALE Oil on canvas, silver foil, 50x70 cm (2024). “Imagine a hot air balloon. It’s beautiful, big and flies smoothly across the sky. That’s exactly the same with a person: he lives, lives and dies” (c) old joke. Every person’s life consists of goals and ways to achieve them. Goals can be global, or they can be tiny. Someone simply lies in the direction of the target, and someone rushes towards it over other people's corpses, tearing their elbows and other people's backs into blood. The life of an ordinary person is full of victories and defeats. The life of a purposeful person consists only of victories, since he does not admit defeat. Moreover, victory is needed at any cost, even at the cost of one’s own life. But every person has a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, which sooner or later will definitely break, cut the finish line and put an end to the pursuit of goals. And only then will a person win the final victory and find true freedom and peace.

Phillip Deeker is a well-known cyclist in narrow circles, the organizer of the Cent Cols Challenge event, when people on bicycles overcome 100 passes in 10 days. I have no idea how they do it.

But Phil, at 66, is at the forefront from start to finish. While I was painting the picture, I came up with the idea of decorating it with bicycle parts. And when I attached the gears, I realized that lenses were also needed. I had already cast them from epoxy resin, and then sharpened and polished them (thanks to YouTube for the lessons)

Blessed Quiet / Blessed Trinity SOLD Oil on linen canvas, white gilded foil, 30x40 cm (2023). Dice are used to predict the future and to understand the present and past. But it is necessary to follow the rules and rituals if you want the result to be accurate. One of the rules is to distract the fortuneteller's attention from the process of throwing the dice to exclude its influence on the result. Some cultures use psychotropic substances for this, while others prefer spiritual practices or a state of sexual ecstasy. Even ancient philosophers believed that sex brings a person closer to higher powers. And as Aldous Huxley noted: “Sexual experience can be the highest experience of what is called transcendent…” In addition, sex is one of the most natural and pure human experiences. And that is why the state of sexual ecstasy is ideal for divination. At the same time, the usage of BDSM practices allows, on the one hand, to enhance the peaks of sexual trance and on the other hand, to leave the fortuneteller with a sense of reality. Which creates a bridge between the astral and material world, so the higher powers can speak to us in the language of dice. And the last rule. The fortuneteller must be quiet! So, dear viewer, if you want to unravel the signs of the universe and the higher powers, you must do it yourself

Blessed Blindness / Blessed Trinity SOLD Oil on linen canvas, white gilded foil, 30x40 cm (2023). The modern approach to fortune-telling on cards suggests that the basic meanings of the cards are only the starting point for the interpretation that the fortuneteller makes himself, based on his experience and intuition. For a more accurate interpretation, the fortuneteller can enter a trance, which allows him to draw an interpretation directly from the astral world. As noted earlier, the state of sexual trance is one of the simple and pure ways of communication with the astral world. Thus, the use of BDSM practices in divination allows, on the one hand, to enhance the peaks of sexual trance, and on the other hand, to leave the fortuneteller with a sense of reality, thus creating a bridge between the astral and material world, through which higher powers will speak to us in the language of cards. In the ideal case, in order not to interfere with the connection of the astral with the cards, the fortuneteller should broadcast the astral insights entering into it, not at all seeing the card layout that has fallen

Blessed Silence / Blessed Trinity SOLD Oil on linen canvas, white gilded foil, 30x40 cm (2023). When preparing for fortune-telling on coffee grounds, it is important not only to prepare and drink coffee correctly, but also to choose the right variety.

So if you are wondering about finances and took Brazilian coffee for this purpose, then get ready to spend a lot of money on bright entertainment. Therefore, before divination, it is important to clearly formulate the goal, carefully select the type of coffee, and only then proceed to the sacrament. As with any other divination, it is important to focus on the process and not be distracted by external factors. The blissful silence and gentle stimulation of the astral zones of the fortuneteller can not only allow you to get the most accurate forecast, but also influence events in the most favorable way.

Ace of Diamonds / Cybercards FOR SALE Oil on canvas linen, gold styled foil frame, 30x40 cm (2023). Initially, the value of the cards was inversely proportional to the face value, and the highest was a card with a face value of 1. A card with one dot looked dull and began to be decorated with patterns. Then the King, Queen and Jack appeared, so that the laconic one took the dominant position among them and became the Ace. The suit Diamonds itself comes from the ancient Chinese suit Coin, and one of the intermediate incarnations was Bell. And therefore, the Ace, as the highest card, is the key to the suit and contains the main images and symbols associated with the history of the suit.

King of Diamonds / Cybercards FOR SALE Oil on linen canvas, gold styled foil frame, 30x40 cm (2023). The suit of diamonds is called Diamonds in some languages and Bells in others. But it takes its historical beginning from ancient China, and there it was a Coin. When playing cards reached Europe through Persia and Egypt, the suit of the Coin remained a coin in some countries, in others it became a bell due to confusion with pictures, and in others it became a diamond - either the rhombic hole in the coin was mistaken for a crystal, or they decided that the coin is too small. Therefore, the King of Diamonds is about money and wealth, about their power and their capabilities. Therefore, all the elements and symbols of the painting “The King of Diamonds” are subordinated to this idea. And the structure of the Diamonds/Bells picture was taken from the transitional version of the cards, when, during the reunification of the German lands, it turned out that German suits were used in some lands, and French ones in others.

Queen of Diamonds / Cybercards FOR SALE Oil on linen canvas, gold styled foil frame, 30x40 cm (2023). Modern card suits come from ancient China. And the progenitor of this suit was the Coin. So it is not surprising that the suit of Diamonds is about money and about wealth. Moreover, when the Coin came to Europe through Persia and Egypt, due to confusion with pictures in some countries it turned into Bells, and in some into Diamonds. And, characteristically, the Persians and the Egyptian Mamluks had a Vizier instead of a Queen/Lady. So when he got to the German part of Europe, the Vizier turned into an Ober Marshal, and only among the French did he become a Queen / Lady. So, the suit of Diamonds is money and wealth. And the Queen/Lady of Diamonds in our interpretation personifies the ability to get wealth from everywhere, even out of thin air. And these her abilities are reflected in the elements and images of the picture.

Jack of Diamonds / Cybercards FOR SALE Oil on canvas linen, gilded foil frame, 30x40 cm (2023). Jack or Uber Marshal of Diamonds.

Yes, because the suit of Diamonds is money, and where there is money, there is wealth. Let not mental, but material.

Mental Health / Mental Trinity SOLD Oil on canvas, golden style foil. Size 30x40 cm (2022). Mental health is a state of well-being in which a person can realize his own potential, withstand the stresses of life and generally live normally, with all his money. But it can be disrupted as a result of stress, depression, loneliness and a bunch of other unpleasant reasons. And getting your mental health back on track may take time, and possibly treatment. By analogy with a broken leg, during recovery a person may need some kind of mental crutches, supports, wheelchairs and exoskeletons to allow the process to go faster. And here it is very important not to go too far and maintain a balance, so that with such support and therapy you do not go to a completely different side of reality.

Mental Peace / Mental Trinity SOLD Oil on canvas, golden style foil. Size 30x40 cm (2022). Whatever you do and wherever you are, it is very important to maintain peace of mind within yourself. Find the positive aspects in everything and focus on positive solutions to issues and problems. After all, peace of mind is that temple inside you that stores all the best and brightest and projects it into the outside world. Remember that thoughts are material. Therefore, be calm and benevolent. And the world will smile at you! Otherwise, if you loosen your grip a little, internal contradictions and the thirst for justice will boil, violently burst out, set reality on fire and tear everything to hell! And kick him, kick him!!

Mental Stability / Mental Trinity SOLD Oil on canvas, golden style foil. Size 30x40 cm (2022). What does not allow your inner world and emotions to dangle inside you, like a piece of cake in an ice hole, is mental balance. It can be a flexible system that adapts and dampens emotional fluctuations. These may be attachments to internal principles that hold your inner world firmly in place. This may be a vacuum of nonsense, inside which your positive emotions float blithely, without coming into contact with external stimuli.
But if internal structures fail and cannot maintain mental balance, then mental practices and pharmacological solutions come to the rescue. Although it often helps to simply pour a bucket of water on your head, stop and think: “isn’t it all gone?”
Don't let your mental balance get out of whack, otherwise everything inside may collapse and break. It's painful and traumatic. But restoration is difficult and expensive. And if you make a little mistake, then you end up with such crap...

Steamplant NOT FOR SALE Oil on canvas, golden leaf. Size 56x34 cm (2022). At the beginning of the 21st century, it was fashionable among enthusiasts to fix old steam engines. And of course, some of them were also stuffed with electronics - where would we be without it in the 21st century. And here is the result. Steamplant is a symbiote of a steam engine and plants. The principle of operation of the Stimplant is not completely clear. Genetically modified fast-growing bushes and vines become slowly smoldering fuel for the furnace of a steam boiler, the steam from which drives gears and mechanisms. According to one version, all this mechanical whirl is needed only to supply electricity to a microcomputer located in the depths of machinery. The board of this microcomputer has sprouted mushroom spores, and after such an upgrade it is no longer possible to understand its purpose and purpose. To understand a mushroom, one must become a mushroom. Perhaps his goal is banal world domination and he is simply at the very beginning of his journey.
