Star Traveler. In memory of Yazep Drazdovich, 2000. Oil, 150 × 120

“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.”
