Tree of Life and Death

In philosophy Dualism (from Latin “dualis” – dual) defines combinations of two principles mutually influencing each other, but not changing their structure, for example, matter and spirit, body and consciousness, good and evil. At the same time, opposites connect, but do not divide reality.

They do not oppose, but complement each other. Line Dualism is linear in the literal sense, because the line (/) lies at its base, as a symbol of movement, making it double (//), I create the simplest model of Dualism – the shell and its contents, conditionally body and soul, and with the help of it I consider the interaction of objects, states, forces, sometimes oppositely inherent, but inextricably linked with each other. Using several double lines, I can strengthen or weaken the tension of the relationship, create a rhythm, the energy of the event.In painting, harmony is expressed by a balanced opposition of “cold” and “warm” colors, light and shadow, saturation of space and emptiness.

Dualism everywhere and in everything and with the help of my direction I concentrate the viewer’s attention on his endless examples.
