The painting "Алхимический реализм" is a reflection on the sacred in the ordinary, on how simple matter becomes a vessel
of Light.
At the center of the composition lies bread — a symbol of life, warmth, and earthly labor. It is painted with lively, tactile strokes filled with ochre, warm brown, and shades of gold. This is not a mundane object, but a metaphor for the very essence of existence — material, yet filled with inner radiance.
Above the bread rises a golden square — a sign of the Spirit, a luminous idea, an alchemical element that transforms the earthly into the sacred. The space around dissolves in soft light, creating a sense of silence and contemplation. There is nothing superfluous here: only matter and Light, between which an invisible energy of Presence arises.
"Алхимический реализм" is a dialogue between matter and Spirit, simplicity and eternity.
The painting directs the viewer’s gaze to the sacred in the ordinary — to the moment when, through the form of simple bread, the breath of life emerges, and the material becomes a revelation of Light.
