This original work «Twice born» was created by contemporary Russian artist Oleg Mayorov and is available for purchase online.
The painting by Oleg Mayorov “Twice Born” is a deeply surreal and metaphorical piece, using a simple yet powerful image to explore themes of birth, awareness, and transformation.
At the center of the composition floats an egg — a universal symbol of potential, the beginning of life, and hidden mystery. However, this egg is not whole: in its shell, cracked with an uneven, sharp edge, a human eye has appeared. This eye, realistically rendered with an iris full of depth, is the focal point of the entire canvas’s energy. It looks directly at the viewer, establishing an intimate and slightly unsettling connection.
The crack symbolizes the process of “second birth” referenced in the title. The first birth is the emergence from the physical shell, while the second is the awakening of consciousness, the soul or mind emerging from a state of ignorance to full perception of the world. The eye becomes a window through which awareness manifests.
The background of the painting, rendered in soft, pastel pencil tones, transitions in a gradient from deep blue to light turquoise. This airy, almost ethereal background emphasizes that what is happening is an event of a spiritual, not physical, nature. The shadow cast by the egg below gives the object weight and reality within this immaterial space.
“Twice Born” invites the viewer to reflect on the moment of personal enlightenment, on how we break through our own limitations (the shell) and begin to truly see the world. It depicts a profound inner migration and the gaining of new vision.
One of the folk symbols of Easter is the chicken egg. Yet, it seems few realize why. It is because the egg hints to us: like a bird born twice — first as an egg, then as the bird itself — a person must also be born twice. On this subject, we recall the words of Christ: "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, you must be born again."
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a beautiful decoration for your interior.
