«Fortuna» is a visual note book of memories. Lonely boat is the starting point in a journey into the past. Taken from the stream of life, it becomes a refuge for the dreams, where are living the shadows of dead ancestors. As a wheel
of fortune blindly follow the whims of fate, the memories come suddenly, inhabiting the space between sleep and vigil.
«When we die we remain close to Earth, close to loved ones and it is the responsibility of those still living to care for the dead and elevate them closer to the light, to Heaven...toward God. We elevate our ancestors through prayer, having masses said, lighting candles and leaving glasses of water, flowers and perfume as offerings. We believe that the more we help the dead, the faster they shake off their sins and spiritual baggage and rise closer to God. They in turn will bless us with health, money and good fortune in this life.» Voodoo people beliefs

«Endless Light» is a streams of light that falling down to the sand.
Sun light can be very desirable, bringing relaxation and joy. But also it can be harmfull and destructive when the balance between dark and light is broken.
«Tucked inside the very center of our galaxy is a monstrous black hole, billions of times as massive as the sun. This supermassive black hole may have started off smaller, but the ample supply of dust and gas allowed it to gorge itself and grow into a giant. Most galaxies are thought to have a black hole in their heart.» Space.com

Watching at the cloudy sky, especially on sea, where sun rays are creating the «holes» in the clouds that may be considered as «Heaven Doors». This interpretation has a long religious tradition in different confessions in Islam for example.
«Whoever spends two things in the way of Allah will be called from the gates of Paradise and will be addressed, 'O slave of Allah, here is prosperity!' So whoever was among the people who used to offer their prayers will be called from the gate of prayer; and whoever was among the people who used to participate in jihad will be called from the gate of jihad; and whoever was among those who used to observe fasts will be called from the gate of ar-Rayyaan; and whoever was among those who used to give in charity will be called from the gate of charity.» Prophet Muhammad

All together they are parts of the circle of Dao.
«The Way that can be told of is not an unvarying way;
The names that can be named are not unvarying names.
It was from the Nameless that Heaven and Earth sprang;
The named is but the mother that rears the ten thousand
creatures, each after its kind.» 道德經: 道 Dao De Jing

But now as the day becomes shorter,
Wordlessly saddened, we say farewell
To the light.» Nicholas Roerich

«Yellow House» painting is reflect the loneliness of the artist on the edge of illness or the edge of madness when the mind is empty as an old abandoned yellow house
«I’m struggling with all my energy to master my work, telling myself that if I win this it will be the best lightning conductor for the illness. I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away; it’s selfish if you like, not to become accustomed to my companions in misfortune here instead, and to go to see them, but anyway I feel none the worse for it, for my work is progressing and
we have need of that, for it’s more than necessary that I do better than before, which wasn’t sufficient.» Vincent van Gogh

«Street in Sintra» the painting of light and shadows. Impressionistic manner of painting reminds about life without electric light, manner where blurring shadows were the constant elements of painting.
«The lines in Impressionist art are often subtle and blurry. There may or may not be a defined break between one shadow and the next, which creates a foggy effect. However, Impressionists loved to play with lights and shadows. Many employed a combination of striking, solid lines with visible soft lines. The painting may have a sharp silhouette line filled with blurred shadow lines or a blurry background with a sharp foreground.» Characteristic of Impressionist art
Alex Solodov «Street in Sintra»
Acrylic on canvas 65x55 cm, 2013
«Sintra Roofs» the painting with a strong impressionist influence, especially in attempt to show changing in structure of colours and light in every moment of watching.
«I’m chasing the merest sliver of color. It’s my own fault, I want to grasp the intangible. It’s terrible how the light runs out, taking color with it. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes three or four minutes at a time. What to do, what to paint in three or four minutes. They’re gone, you have to stop. Ah, how I suffer, how painting makes me suffer! It tortures me.» Claude Monet
