"The Union"
"The Union" was painted to symbolize the long union of two people - male and female. The two sea turtles represent the longevity, but at the same time rarity. They are still two individual beings (2 canvases), who are completed by each other in the infinite space by the ties that are not visible or comprehensible by others. There are many other pieces in these paintings, e.g. markings on the turtles backs, stones with an ear, some hardly visible faces and creatures, all of them bore some meanings for me while I was painting, but which I was surprised to discover are often interpreted differently and personally by other viewers, so I will allow everyone to add their own feelings and thoughts to these paintings.
