Isle of the Dead, 1999. Oil, 80 × 100

“Isle of the Dead attracts our attention. It is associated with the legend about the river which the souls of the dead cross
on their way to the other world (different peoples call it Leta, Styx, etc.). The painting tells us about the journey that might
happen to a person after his/her death, and the mythical beliefs are transferred to real space.
And the author gives us no answer to the question: “What will happen after?”
