This original work, «Where the Tao Lives», was created by the contemporary Russian artist Kseniya Scher and is available for purchase online.
The painting «Alchemical Realism 2 (Where the Tao Lives)» is a contemplative canvas where philosophical depth blends with visual clarity. At the center of the composition shines a golden sun, painted with gold leaf — a symbol of the supreme Light and Spirit. Its swirling radiance creates a sense of movement and energy, as if the very space is breathing.
Below, on a light background, bamboo grows — a sign of living nature, resilience, and inner growth. Its green stalks fill the composition with vitality and Harmony. To its right is a silvery triangle, which together with the golden circle forms the Alchemical symbol of Tao, the precious «pearl in the dragon’s paw», as the painting’s inscription states. It embodies a perfect form where heaven, earth, and man unite.
The soft wavy horizon line and subtle color balance create a feeling of tranquility, reminding the viewer of Infinity and inner equilibrium. This work achieves a special purity; there is no conflict of elements — only the quiet presence of Being.
The painting conveys the philosophy of Tao through the manifestation of Emptiness, simplicity, and Light — and perhaps becomes one of the most contemplative and refined in the «Modern Alchemy» series.
«Tao is the pearl in the dragon’s paw».
