The surface of the Moon is not only illuminated by the Sun but it also reflects the light of Earth.
The Earth’s disk hangs in the lunar sky and it is almost motionless. Earth lights up the lunar night
50 times brighter than a full Moon.

Pluto consists of rocks and ice. The atmosphere of Pluto is the tenuous layer of nitrogen, methane
and carbon monoxide. Pluto and its largest moon Charon are often recognized as a dual system.

“Halina Horava’s works are full of vital energy. They are vivid and prominent. They are marked
by the spirit of romance and light nostalgia for the great dreams and dreamers of the Belarusian Land,
such as Yazep Drazdovich and Alena Kish.”

“For several years Halina Horava has been studying the works of this unique Belarusian painter, writer and ethnographer. Many philosophers
and science fiction writers of different epochs had long dreamed of exploring outer space. Yazep Nartsyzavich Drazdovich made an invaluable
contribution to the development and formation of cosmism. He was the first among Belarusian artists to create a vivid and holistic picture of the
Universe. Halina Horava presented him not only as an artist but also as the author of a monograph on cosmology and astronomy. He is holding
a map of the mutual rotation of Earth and Mars. Y. Drazdovich believed that the two planets had hovered around each other in space before
they orbited the Solar System.”

Artistic Reconstruction of Y. Drazdovich’s Map, 2009. Oil, 100 × 100. A Copy of Y. Drazdovich’s plan ‘‘The City of Trivezh and Its Environs’’, 1933. Paper, ink, 45 × 50

The Moon City of Trivezh is a magical myth created by Yazep Drazdovich on the basis of his own “somnambulistic” cosmovisions. According to
Y. Drazdovich, the Moon belongs to the Lunid civilization. The artist drew a detailed plan of Trivezh, a city on the Moon, and painted a picture with
its towers. Therefore Halina Horava’s project shows a wide panorama of Trivezh and its environs, which has been created in accordance with
Drazdovich’s plan.

“On the Plein-Air on the Moon canvas, a man stands on the Moon and paints other planets.
Here we can see Yazep Drazdovich. He inspired the artist to create her space cycle.
His works raised the question of the real and metaphysical space, which is of great interest to Halina Horava.”

“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?”

Alena Mastserava, journalist

“The exhibition is characterized by the poetic pathos of the humanization of cold space. Warm colors and
smooth strokes intensify this tendency. By the way, there are not only emotions but also actuality and clarity
in H. Horava’s paintings.”

Palina Platava, journalist

“Horava’s paintings evoke fairy-tale dreams, poetic moods, and fantasy vision. The artistic images
of her paintings are laced with iconic impressions, color vibrations, and poetic subtexts.
They create a world of mysteries and secrets that shape the artist’s creative mentality.”

“… Heaven keeps its impenetrable secrets as if it wants to be an eternal mystery.
Space is a theater of constant and continuous actions, where the plot intrigues are never less exciting
than any earthly events.”
