The painting «Reflection» invites the viewer into a space of inner journey through the image of a snow leopard — a rare and enigmatic creature dwelling high among mountain peaks, where silence and majesty reign. The leopard symbolizes strength, wisdom, and inner freedom, living in solitude where the world's chaos cannot penetrate, preserving within itself the secrets of inaccessible heights. This image reminds us of the necessity to sometimes embrace our inner solitude and be honest when alone with ourselves. In silence, akin to mountain expanses, truth is born — we begin to hear our subconscious, cease being prisoners of mind and emotions. Only in this profound inner silence, which Jung wrote about, does the authentic self reveal itself. By laying ourselves bare, honestly accepting our fears and weaknesses, we open ourselves to our very essence — our true self. And only by passing through this state of sincerity can we meet the world anew, which invariably becomes a reflection of our inner state. The mirrored mosaic and gold leaf in the composition symbolize the soul's multidimensionality and the light that breaks through inner layers. Pure quartz lends the work energetic purity and clarity, intensifying the sensation of spiritual insight. Textural paste and the contrasting black-and-white tones of the leopard emphasize the harmony of opposites unified in a single cohesive image — both in nature and in the human soul. «Reflection» is a symbol of the multidimensionality and depth of the human soul, a call to courageously dive within oneself, to accept solitude as a source of inner strength and wisdom, and to consciously meet the world with an open and honest heart.
