Maiden and Unicorn

Exclusive Limited Edition Art Print of "Creation of the World". Belongs to the Northern Suite series. "Creation of the World", graphite and coloured pencil on paper, original drawing size: H13” x W20”, paper size: H17" X W24", 2013   We live in myths. Our peace of mind demands that all the facts and elements of the "real world" (as we call it) be somehow explained. We build myths, myths in which everything that surrounds us has its place and meaning. The myths of the northern peoples are not fairy tales, they are their reality in its most understandable and meaningful form. The northerners, surviving in the extreme conditions of the "edge of the world", have formed a culture (and culture is actually a sum of myths) so perfect and picturesque, and in some respects so different from the European (Western) tradition, that it deeply fascinates and inspires me as an artist.
