The title of the painting “Echo of Seconds on the Way to the Sun” reflects the idea of time, movement, and the pursuit of knowledge. The central image—the sun-like egg—symbolizes the Grail of wisdom, embodying both the fragility and potential of knowledge.
The crescent-shaped boat represents the balance between action and contemplation, hinting at the search for harmony and inner equilibrium. The figure of the rat, armed with a spear, symbolizes curiosity and an insatiable desire for understanding, despite the risk of destruction. The red droplets trickling down can be interpreted as traces of time imprinted on the path to truth or as symbols of the inevitable obstacles that accompany this journey.
The simplicity of the composition and the restrained color palette enhance the sense of life’s ephemerality, inviting the viewer to reflect on human nature and its restless desire to expand the boundaries of existence. The painting unveils a profound symbolic meaning, where philosophical ideas intertwine with visual poetry.
Echo of Seconds on the Way to the Sun: Transition (2025)
oil on canvas | 60X60 cm
The painting “Echo of Seconds on the Way to the Sun: Transition” captures the moment when truth transcends the ephemeral and takes on the weight of reality. The amber yolk, gently dripping downward like the steady flow of time, symbolizes the inevitability of awareness, leaving an indelible mark on the seeker’s soul.
The crescent-shaped boat, divided into red and black, reflects the inner conflict between the fear of loss and the acceptance of a new path. The rat holding a flute serves as a metaphor for the reevaluation of the journey: shifting from an unrelenting pursuit of truth through struggle to seeking harmony with the world, where sound becomes a means of dialogue with the unknown.
The music, born of breath, embodies a quiet resolve in the face of change and a willingness not only to accept the truth but also to bear responsibility for its consequences.
The minimalist composition and delicate symbolism of the painting remind us that knowledge is not only about striving forward but also about the wisdom of embracing its irreversible consequences.
The painting "Strings" by Naomi Lautier is a philosophical work that deeply explores the mysteries of human existence. On the canvas, a zebra is depicted walking along a path leading into the singularity of a black tunnel, with the inexorable gravity of the future pulling life in.
A red rope, reminiscent of an umbilical cord, connects the zebra to large eggs filled with symbols of various civilizations, emphasizing our unbreakable connection to the past and cultural heritage. The strings that permeate the painting represent a metaphor for the infinite music of the universe and life, where each note is a unique story. These strings symbolize hope and faith in the continuation of creativity and life, akin to an endless opera written by the Great Composer.
Road at Night (2023)
oil on canvas | 70x90 cm
On the road, there is always someone watching your back. May the light of that gaze be kind. This piece conveys the atmosphere of a nighttime journey. The graphite road embodies darkness, mystery, and the uncertainty of the path, symbolizing a beginning that leads to new horizons. The white road markings guide forward, emphasizing the necessity of following one's path despite the surrounding unknown.
The half-zebra, depicted as part of a pedestrian crossing, signifies the transition from one state to another, highlighting the importance of each step. The red square in the corner of the painting symbolizes energy, passion, and caution, pointing to the significance of conscious choice and carefulness.
Our life path is always shrouded in uncertainty, but it is crucial to follow the internal markings, relying on the light of fate that accompanies us. May this light be kind, guiding and supporting us at every stage of our journey.
"Path into Depth" by Naomi Lautier is a philosophical poem embodied in color and form. Water is a mirror, reflecting the human soul in its pursuit of truth.
The central figure, a koi carp, symbolizes eternal movement. Its body, covered in roe, carries the potential of the future, while red, blue, and white convey struggle, serenity, and renewal. The scattered roe serves as a metaphor for infinite possibilities, revealed only to those who let go of the past.
The geometric background is a labyrinth of the mind, where blue and yellow create a tense dialogue between logic and intuition. Depth in this painting is not merely space but a state of being.
The painting offers no answers, only an invitation to reflect: What lies beneath the surface? Where does the true journey begin? Within—where silence and depth give birth to meaning.
New Apples (2024)
oil on canvas | 120x80 cm
"New Apples" is a philosophical meditation on time, change, and the collision of tradition with technological progress.
On the canvas, two zebras consume an apple, leaving only the core. This image serves as a metaphor for the fading of the old world, where the apple—once a symbol of knowledge and abundance—becomes a reminder of the inevitability of change. The backdrop of a clear blue sky symbolizes the infinite possibilities that lie ahead for humanity.
At the bottom of the painting, red squares resembling corridors lead toward new horizons. Their color and structure evoke the technological reality, where even progress is subject to the passage of time. The inner hue of the apple’s flesh hints at the limitations of any system, bound to transformation.
"New Apples" invites reflection on the transition of eras and the eternal connection between nature and the artificial world. It merges the symbolism of nature and technology, transforming art into a dialogue about time.
Tree of Life (2024)
oil on canvas | 100x100 cm
The painting "Tree of Life" is an exquisite work where nature and technology intertwine in refined harmony. The mosaic of tunnels on a red background reflects the passion and complexities of the human journey. The green tree against the blue sky represents life and hope. Figures with egg-shaped heads embody the birth of new ideas and innovations. This work reminds us of the delicate balance between progress and nature.
Every element of the painting—the tree, the sky, and the red background—is woven from a mosaic of tunnels, creating the impression that the entire world of the canvas consists of these intersecting paths. These paths convey the multilayered and unpredictable nature of our future, where each trail opens new horizons.
This piece, rich in subtle details and profound meaning, encourages contemplation of the eternal questions of existence. The contrast between the vibrant red background and the serene blue sky highlights the internal contradictions of human nature and civilization. The tree, the central element of the composition, binds the earth and sky, indicating the continuity of life and its development despite obstacles.
Figures with egg-shaped heads, akin to embryos of new thoughts, are directed toward the future, carrying within them the potential for change and progress. Their forms hint at human ingenuity and the drive to explore the unknown.
"Tree of Life" is a visual hymn to the interaction between nature and human genius, a reminder of the importance of maintaining harmony in the world. The mosaic of tunnels that composes the entire painting symbolizes the complexity and multilayered nature of our world. The canvas invites contemplation and reflection on our place in this ever-changing space, where innovation and respect for the environment must go hand in hand.
Composition and Form At its center, a pyramid of white rats—a symbol traditionally linked to stability and power—takes on an unsettling presence. Rats, creatures of disorder, construct a form that appears both solid and precarious. The white background, rather than offering purity, enhances a sense of ephemerality and emptiness, reinforcing the painting’s underlying tension.
A red line—a cut—slashes through the pyramid’s base, disrupting its coherence. This wound-like incision suggests an external force intruding upon the system, exposing its inherent instability. Red, the color of life and blood, stands in stark contrast to the pallid whiteness, amplifying the visual and conceptual discord.
Idea and Interpretation The painting challenges the notion of absolute stability. A pyramid built from creatures associated with chaos raises the question: can order truly emerge from disorder? The cut, like a wound, signifies disruption, but also revelation—it unveils the delicate balance upon which structure depends.
In "Pyramid 1", minimalism transcends aesthetics, becoming a philosophical statement. The composition transforms into a metaphor for the impermanence of stability, where even the most rigid structures conceal an underlying fragility.
Destruction of the Black Square (2023)
oil on canvas | 100x100 cm
The painting "Destruction of the Black Square" by artist Naomi Lautier is not just a canvas; it is a manifesto of a new revolution in art. The black square, historically known as a symbol of the absolute and the end of art history as we know it today, is redefined. But like a true phoenix rising from the ashes, a new era of art emerges from this.
The red rats symbolize an unbridled flow of life and innovation, breaking through familiar confines and opening new pathways. Their audacity and fearlessness are a manifesto of a new wave of artistic creativity, challenging stereotypes and conservatism.
Naomi Lautier's painting "Destruction of the Black Square" reveals an unusual perspective on the world, characteristic of creators with special abilities and vision. Such artists do not merely create works of art; they open new horizons in understanding the human soul and its interaction with the surrounding world.
The history of art is filled with examples of creators whose uniqueness and distinctiveness are reflected in their works. Naomi anticipates the triumph of an era of new meanings.
Red (2023)
oil on canvas | 100x100 сm
The painting "Red" immerses the viewer in a world of refined contrasts and deep emotions. White eggs against a crimson-burgundy background create a floating effect, adding volume and depth to the composition.
The purity of the white forms and the richness of the background generate a hypnotic attraction, drawing the viewer into a visual dialogue. The composition seems to breathe, while the structure of the eggs pulls inward, merging reality and art.
The crimson-burgundy background enhances the dynamism, intensifying the radiance of the white eggs. The interplay of color and form not only captures attention but also makes the viewer an active participant in the artistic process.
"Red" offers a sophisticated visual experience, where the boundaries between observer and artwork dissolve, creating a delicate yet profound connection between the painting and perception.
Dawn at Sunset (2023)
oil on canvas | 150x100 сm
The painting "Dawn at Sunset" is a multilayered work filled with deep symbolism. The central element is a line of an inverted city, dividing the canvas into two parts. This city symbolizes a distorted reality requiring new interpretations.
In the upper part of the painting, red rats desperately search for an exit, symbolizing restlessness and the quest for freedom. Their red color is associated with energy and passion, highlighting their struggle for survival. In the lower part, light gray rats, resembling shadows, become most apparent as the viewer approaches, creating the sensation that they are the viewer's own shadows. These rats symbolize hidden aspects of consciousness and fears, emerging during self-reflection.
Above the inverted city, cracked eggs are depicted with yolk flowing out, symbolizing the fragility of life and transitions. One of the red rats covers an egg with a cage, which can be interpreted as either protection or control.
The painting reflects internal struggles and contradictions, inviting the viewer to ponder their own searches and limitations, the shadows of the past, and the quest for light.
We are always in motion. We chase or escape, propelled forward by an impulse greater than ourselves. Man is not merely an observer of chaos—he is part of it, its bearer. Hunter or prey? The distinction is an illusion, for roles shift with every passing moment.
In the painting, crimson silhouettes surge through a dense gray expanse. At first glance, they form a single tribe, but upon closer inspection, unity dissolves: dogs, horses, deer. They are bound not by their essence but by movement itself. They are like flames tearing through billowing smoke. Red is the color of life, but also of danger; of power, but also of blood. It does not merely highlight these figures—it ignites them, makes them burn. The gray background is not a backdrop but a medium, thick and viscous, like reality itself.
Man cannot exist outside this rhythm. He is made for striving, for struggle, for the search. Perfection is not in conquering chaos, but in realizing: it is us.
The Hunt for Meaning (2024)
oil on canvas | 100x100 cm
On the canvas unfolds a whirlwind of movement, a chase where pursuit and escape merge into one. Horses, sighthounds, and deer—fiery entities flashing through the mist. Their vortex spins counterclockwise, as if striving to turn time back, to grasp lost truths.
The boundary between hunter and prey dissolves. Each creature both pursues and flees, caught in a rhythm that cannot be stopped—a spiral of time, a motion already predestined.
The red hue ignites their bodies, filling the scene with tension and struggle. The gray background is not emptiness, but the remnants of the past, turned to ash.
"The Hunt for Meaning" is a meditation on the nature of movement. Here, truth is not in conquering chaos, but in recognizing that chaos is life itself.
Rhinoceros (2024)
oil on canvas | 100x70 cm
"Rhinoceros" is a symbolic work that raises important questions about the fragility of the world. The disappearance of these majestic yet defenseless animals, carefully crafted over millions of years of evolution, represents a tragedy and unforgivable irresponsibility. The rhinoceroses on the canvas are depicted as mere shadows with defined muscles. Their movement through the red stripe resembles a frame from a film reel... Perhaps a torn film reel, for the extinction of the species is quite real.
The red fly on the canvas evokes a sense of transience. The subconscious association of flies as scavengers emotionally enhances the perception of the painting. The simple situation of life and death is succinctly reflected by the artist on the canvas using only two colors of the palette, conveying a thought that is both obvious and tragic.
Remember who we are. We are human. In the near future, it will be harder to remember this, and the past will seem more distant than the future. The artificiality of the future must not replace all that is human in us. We must remember and preserve the vast heritage of humanity.
A new era of super technologies is approaching, the era of Artificial Intelligence. It will be the strongest wave that changes the landscape and us.
The painting "Immersion" is about the importance of preserving our human essence in a world rapidly changing under the influence of technology. The wooden red horses diving into the depths of a sky-blue ocean symbolize our human experience, our heritage accumulated over centuries. These diving horses are not just toys from the past; they are guardians of our human code. As we dive into the unknown, we also dive into ourselves, into our memories. It is an act of self-discovery and self-preservation, an attempt to not lose our identity.
We must remember that our humanity is the most valuable thing we possess. In a world where the future seems more real and closer than the past, we are obliged to maintain a connection with our roots, our feelings, and our memories. Artificiality must not displace our true "self," and we must strive for a balance between progress and human values.
Let "Immersion" serve as a reminder of the importance of mindfulness and self-discovery. As we plunge into the new, we must not forget our past and what makes us human.
Falling into Silence (2025)
oil on canvas | 80x100 cm
Depth. Silence. A frozen moment between motion and stillness. This painting creates the effect of suspended time, drawing the viewer into a space where the boundaries between reality and dream dissolve.
At the center of the composition, a human figure descends into an abyss of deep blue. Ripples spread across the water’s surface, like echoes of a moment that has just passed. Is this fall sudden, accidental, or inevitable? We do not know. The only certainty is that the figure no longer belongs to the air but is becoming part of the water, dissolving into its depths.
The right side of the canvas belongs to a different dimension entirely—a world of bubbles, shimmering hues, a cluster of air escaping the body, rising upwards. Here, movement and fluidity create a contrast with the dense, motionless blue. This interplay symbolizes two opposing states—falling and resistance, disappearance and remembrance.
The blue-green palette plays a crucial role in the emotional impact of the piece. The deep blue conveys tranquility but also the unknown, mystery. The greenish reflections on the bubbles hint at light, at a possible way out, at the presence of something alive within this depth.
Compositionally, the work is strikingly precise: the balance between emptiness and detail is masterfully executed. The left side is open, clean, filled with silence. The right side is structured, dense with intricate elements that create a sense of movement. Together, they form a dialogue, an inner drama that the viewer senses without fully realizing.
This painting is not just an image of submersion—it is an allegory of transition, of the moment when a person finds themselves between two worlds. It is a meditation on the thin line between calm and anxiety, on what remains above when we disappear into the deep.
Perhaps falling is not the end. Perhaps it is the beginning of something new.
The artwork "Winter Rhapsody" immerses the viewer in the atmosphere of a winter city, barely visible through a snowy veil. The central element is a thin line of the city, resembling a pulse, smoothly crossing the white canvas. This image symbolizes life beating beneath the winter cover. Gray-transparent circles fill the painting's space, creating a sense of lightness and ephemerality. These circles become increasingly ghostly as the gaze glides upward, reflecting the winter blizzard sweeping over the city. Among them, bright spots stand out, appearing in the foreground like luminous anchors for the eye. They create points of reference, holding the viewer within the painting's context.
An interesting aspect is that through these bright circles, the city is sometimes visible, enhancing the sense of layering and depth.
"Winter Rhapsody" is a multifaceted work that conveys the feeling of a winter city through minimalist and transparent elements. The artist skillfully plays with the viewer's perception, creating a balance between the visible and the hidden, the real and the illusory, inviting the viewer into a world where reality and fantasy intertwine into a single symphony.
Inside the Silence (2024)
oil on canvas | 80х80 cm
This painting captures the delicate space between reality and dream, between the infinity of the cosmos and the enclosure of the inner world. White dots, resembling snowflakes or stars, fill the canvas, creating a sense of movement while simultaneously conveying a frozen eternity. At the center of the composition lies a tiny red rocking horse—a symbol of childhood, memory, and comfort, lost in the vastness of silence.
The crescent moon, formed from the same dots, seems to glow from within, giving the illusion of a fleeting shape that might vanish at any moment. The rocking horse acts as a guide into the depths of consciousness, where memories and emotions transform into elusive images. It appears to float upon an endless sea of time, bridging the past and the present.
The painting immerses the viewer in a state of meditative contemplation, evoking a feeling of solitude—not emptiness, but rather a fullness imbued with the quiet voices of the past. There are no clear boundaries here, only fluidity of form, a gentle dissolution into silence.
The color palette plays a crucial role: the muted dark tones of the background amplify the contrast of the white dots, while the red rocking horse stands as the only element anchoring the gaze, prompting reflection on its meaning. It is a childhood symbol, yet in this vast space, it appears isolated. It serves as a reminder of nostalgia, of safety, of a time when the world seemed simple and comprehensible.
"Inside the Silence" is a visual poem about memory, solitude, and infinity, where the rocking horse becomes a quiet reminder of the fragility of time and the inevitability of moving forward.
Mirage (2024)
oil on canvas | 100х100 cm
The painting "Mirage" opens a philosophical space where reality and illusion intertwine, offering room to reflect on the essence of existence. This work balances the visible and the unattainable, where truth always seems just beyond reach, like the fleeting shimmer of a mirage in the desert.
Structure as a Metaphor for the Mind The geometric form disappearing into the depths symbolizes the mind’s attempt to impose order on chaos. However, the pointillist technique dissolves the illusion of stability, making the structure appear ephemeral, almost intangible. The figure’s apex, pointing skyward, embodies humanity’s eternal yearning to grasp the truth, which forever remains beyond our reach.
Ants as a Symbol of Labor and Cyclicality The deep red ants introduce movement into the piece; their rhythmic labor reflects human existence. Their seemingly chaotic trajectory evokes the concept of eternal recurrence, where efforts do not lead to a final goal but instead become the very essence of life. This serves as a metaphor for our existence, where work and the search for meaning are the primary forces driving us forward.
Illusion and Reality: The Fragility of Perception The world within the painting vibrates, blurring the boundaries between the real and the imagined. The vast desert background evokes a sense of solitude, contrasting with the precision and rigor of the geometric structure. This juxtaposition reflects the tension between the order imposed by the mind and the chaotic nature of reality.
The Mirage as an Eternal Quest The mirage symbolizes the desire to attain the unattainable. The central figure becomes an allegory of infinite pursuit: each horizon brings not answers but new questions. The ants embody humanity, captivated by the process of moving forward yet perpetually confronting the illusion of a final destination.
Conclusion: Between Emptiness and Infinity "Mirage" is a philosophical meditation on the nature of reality and cyclicality. The painting offers no answers but invites the viewer to value the journey itself, recognizing the beauty and inevitable transience of our quest for truth. Perhaps the mirage is, in fact, our true reality, imbued with meaning only through the process of its pursuit.
Toys of Light (2024)
100х80 cm | oil on canvas
The mosaic of the painting is woven from more than 200,000 dots, as if light itself painted with tiny sunbeams. The theme of the fragility of light and its interplay with shadows embodies the philosophical aspects of time and the fleeting moment, the fragmentary nature of life and its bright moments.
A wooden horse standing on a blue floor becomes a symbol of our temporary existence in this world. The light falling through the window seems to emphasize this temporariness, illuminating the horse and creating a play of shadows on the floor and walls. The multiplying shadows on the wall are analogous to the multiple aspects of time we experience and their various interpretations.
The window propped open with a stick is an important detail in the analysis of the painting. The stick, temporarily holding the light, draws attention to its elusive nature. The technique of pointillism used in the work highlights not only the characterization of light and shadows but also the overall atmosphere of the depicted world. Each dot of paint becomes a drop, a moment in time.
This collage painting is a reflection on a world overloaded with information. An open trash can is filled with fragments of headlines, faces, symbols of power, crisis, and ideology. Amid the chaos of newspaper clippings lies a human skull, a reminder of mortality, and a bitten apple, symbolizing lost knowledge.
A red rat reaches upward—an observer, a seeker, perhaps an escapee. It lifts the lid, as if trying to break free or peer deeper inside. Does this gesture lead to liberation or another cycle of entrapment?
Reality dissolves into layers of information where truth and deception intertwine. "Remnants of Reality" poses a question: do we control this chaos, or has it long been in control of us?
Information Trace, Small (2025)
Collage, oil on canvas | 33x40 cm
This smaller piece retains the sharp irony of its larger counterpart but distills it into a more concise, almost intimate statement. Once again, the black dog carries out its mundane yet symbolically charged act, leaving a "trace" not just on the surface, but within the layers of mediated reality.
The fragmented headlines, chessboard symbols, and financial graphics suggest a world where information is not just consumed but gamified—where news is a product, narratives are constructed, and attention is the ultimate currency. The words "No new bad news" hover in the composition, creating an almost paradoxical statement: is this a rejection of negativity, or an ironic nod to the relentless cycle of media anxiety?
Compared to the larger version, this work feels more distilled, as if zooming in on a single moment of the larger noise. The dog’s movement is lighter, almost playful, yet its action remains subversive. In an era where media shapes perception, this piece reminds us that information itself is not neutral—it is marked, filtered, and, at times, tainted by the act of transmission.
By reducing the scale but preserving the essence, "Information Trace (Small)" challenges us to rethink our engagement with the endless stream of headlines. Perhaps, in this condensed form, the irony becomes even sharper—less chaotic, more deliberate, and undeniably present.
Information Trace, Large (2025)
Collage, oil on canvas | 65x80 cm
This collage plays with symbols and meanings, turning a mundane action into a sharp metaphor. The black dog, caught mid-relief, becomes a symbol of spontaneous expression, but its "trace" is not just a stream—it’s a flow of meanings born from the media space.
A dog urinating on a newspaper background literally visualizes the process of "exposing" the information flow. After all, the media is not just a source of knowledge but a space where information gets mixed, distorted, and loses its meaning. Everything is here: speculations, sensationalism, vintage video games, advertising slogans. All of it serves as raw material onto which the modern world "leaves its mark."
The collage mocks our dependence on news and content. Do good news even exist? Or are we endlessly spinning in the same cycle of anxieties, economic crises, and noise? Perhaps it’s all just a game, where the main goal is to capture and retain attention?
No matter how innocent this dog may seem, its action is a metaphor for our era. It doesn’t just leave a mark on the pages of newspapers; it reminds us that in a world overflowing with information, sometimes you just need to… take a pause and approach it all with a bit of irony.
Information Bite of Reality, Large (2025)
Collage, oil on canvas | 80x100 cm
This apple isn’t meant to be eaten. It’s meant to be questioned, remembered. It’s the temptation of the 21st century — and this time, the serpent is content.
You look at it — red, glossy, perfect. Like something filtered for Instagram. But someone has already taken a bite. And in that bite lies the whole world: headlines, blurry faces, scandals, likes, and logos — chewed up and recycled.
This is no fruit of Eden — it’s the fruit of your newsfeed. “The whole world is still surreal,” whispers a scrap of text. Now, the surrealism comes from TikTok and algorithms, not Dalí.
Each fragment is a flash: protest, fashion, politics, apathy. We call it “information.” But the artist shows the truth: we’re not consuming — we’re being consumed. Reality gnaws at us under the mask of the everyday.
A hand from an old ad reaches for something — but what? No answer. Just endless scrolling.
Beneath the skin of this apple lies emptiness and noise. Surface beauty hides a hollow core. The bite of knowledge feels like the bite of exhaustion.
But this isn’t surrender — it’s resistance. The artist turns what breaks us into art. You look — and you can’t unsee it. You can’t scroll past.
This painting is a meditation on beauty, its fragility, and its transience. It suggests that beauty does not exist outside of time—on the contrary, its true essence is revealed in its fleeting nature. As it slips away, it becomes fully realized, attaining its deepest meaning.
At the center is the core of an apple, the remnant of a once-perfect form. Its red edges still carry the memory of wholeness, yet now its inner structure is exposed—alive, shifting, imperfect. Here, decay is not perceived as loss but rather as transformation—a movement of beauty from external flawlessness to a more profound state of existence.
Pearlescent spheres surround the apple, suspended in space like droplets of water or frozen moments in time. Their smooth perfection contrasts with the soft, worn texture of the core, emphasizing the idea of time’s relentless passage. They seem to shimmer, reflecting not only light but the very process of change, reminding us that beauty never truly vanishes—it simply takes on another form.
The color palette is minimalistic, muted, almost sterile. In this silence, the gaze finds its anchor in the red edges of the apple—the only warm tone amid the cool pearlescent spheres. This contrast deepens the sense of fragility, of ephemerality, of something just beyond grasp.
This painting is not about loss, but acceptance. It tells us that beauty does not need to last forever to be true. That its transience makes it tangible. And that in this fleeting nature—in the awareness of its fragility—its deepest essence is revealed.
"Lost Perfection" is a contemplative pause, a reminder that what disappears does not fade into nothingness. It simply becomes something else.
Pearl Dust
81x60 cm | oil on canvas
The fly among the pearls serves as a reminder that life’s reality is ever-present beside idealized beauty, intruding upon our envisioned perfection. It underscores the inevitability of endings, yet also affirms life itself within its perpetual cycle. This small creature subtly hints that even in the process of fading, something vital endures, something timeless.
The painting invites reflection on the notion that, in the end, both the luster of a pearl and a speck of dust hold equal value. Perhaps it is within this fragility, within the certainty of dissolution, that the true beauty of our existence lies.
Violet (2023)
oil on canvas | 50х100 cm
The painting "Violet" immerses the viewer in a world of metaphors and symbols, where every element seems to be torn from reality and transported into a dimension filled with deep meanings. At the center of the composition stands a giraffe, whose figure immediately catches the eye not only for its grandeur but also for its unusual spots, composed of irregularly shaped eggs and stones. This giraffe is not merely an animal — before us is an ancient spirit, the bearer of sacred knowledge, a key to understanding the mysteries of the universe.
The eggs, falling onto the giraffe’s head like phantoms, merge with its body, creating a mysterious symphony of forms. The egg, as a symbol of the beginning of life, embodies the secret of the origin of all existence. The interaction of these eggs with the giraffe’s figure hints at the idea of a constant process of creation and destruction, a life cycle inextricably linked to cosmic and earthly forces. The stones in the giraffe’s spots, on the other hand, symbolize stability, eternity, and indestructibility. Thus, the giraffe represents the harmony between the fragility of life and the unshakability of the universe.
This giraffe is not simply an animal; it is transcendent, its essence existing beyond the physical world. It is an ancient spirit, dwelling outside of time and space. Its image evokes a sense of eternity, carrying with it sacred knowledge accessible only to the chosen few. The giraffe seems to hover above the world, acting as an observer and keeper of unknown mysteries, with its spots — like eggs and stones — signifying the interconnectedness of all things.
This painting provokes thoughts about the origin of life, the cyclical nature of existence, and the profound connection between fragility and eternity. The giraffe’s figure blends with the violet shades of the background, giving the entire composition a mystical and almost magical aura. The color violet here serves as a symbol of spiritual origin, revealing the deep and enigmatic nature of the depicted spirit.
"Violet" invites the viewer not just to observe the images but to seek deeper meanings behind them, unveiling through the interaction of forms and symbols philosophical ideas about the essence of the world and our place in it.
The painting conveys a sense of transition, rupture, and fusion all at once. A line divides the space, like a boundary between worlds, realities, or states of consciousness. Black dots cascade downward, resembling digital code, raindrops, or fragments of time dissolving into infinity.
At the center, a human figure is almost absorbed by the canvas. It reaches through the dividing line, as if attempting to cross an invisible threshold, to step beyond the familiar. Yet, the passage is not without transformation—its body stretches and thins, as if losing materiality.
The painting reflects the dialogue between order and chaos, permanence and change. It speaks of the fragility of boundaries—physical, mental, and spiritual. It does not provide an answer but rather poses a question: what awaits on the other side—discovery or disappearance?
The Gift (2024)
oil on canvas | 150x100 cm
"The Gift" by Naomi Lautier is a profound philosophical work where reality and imagination intertwine, creating a space for reflection on existence. The canvas presents seven beings that oscillate between human and animal forms. These figures, composed of lines resembling neural networks, symbolize the connection between the mind, consciousness, and emotions.
Consciousness in the Figures Each figure serves as a metaphor for different aspects of consciousness. Their faces radiate an inner energy that evokes mythological imagery from ancient Japan. These beings remind us of the eternal cycles of life and the connection between past and present.
Dialogue with the Viewer The figures are not static: their penetrating gazes invite the viewer into a metaphysical dialogue. The painting acts as a bridge to a world of ideas, revealing profound meanings through the symbolism of the blue droplets each figure holds in their hands.
The Blue Droplets: Gift or Burden? The droplets symbolize the gifts of life: knowledge, experience, and enlightenment.
Harmony: One figure holds the droplet at the level of their abdomen, representing inner balance.
Loss: Two other figures let the droplet fall, symbolizing lost opportunities.
Mystery: Another figure hides the droplet behind their back, suggesting hidden knowledge.
The Source of Life The figure at the top, unfinished and dynamic, directs the viewer's gaze toward a line emanating from its navel. This element symbolizes the beginning of a journey: the birth of life, an idea, or a new awareness.
Myths and Modernity "The Gift" connects mythological pasts with a digital future. The blue droplets, evoking both ancient artifacts and modern interfaces, symbolize humanity’s quest to balance technology and spirituality.
Art as Mediator Lautier's painting is not merely a visual image but a meditation on consciousness, life, and the gifts it offers. Every detail demands attention, inviting the viewer to deep self-awareness through a dialogue with this unique work.
Madonna with Child (2024)
oil on canvas | 90х70 cm
The allegorical depiction presented on a canvas with a blue background and eggs, which create the image of a virgin holding a child, attracts with its deep symbolism and multifaceted nature. The blue background, intense and profound, symbolizes eternal harmony, a mystical world of spirituality, and infinite development. The blue color envelops the viewer in an atmosphere of elevated expectation.
The eggs on the blue canvas, with their symbolism, echo the theme of rebirth. They are an archaic symbol of new life, life’s potential, and the eternal cycle of death and birth. The symbolism of the image of the virgin with a child emerging from the eggs brings additional reinterpretation to the depiction.
The image of the virgin with the child, inspired by the iconography of the Madonna with Child, has a rich religious and mythological heritage. This image refers to maternal care, love, and protection, as well as symbolizes spiritual harmony and the connection between humanity and the cosmos. The yolk flowing from the egg, with its bright yellow color, represents a symbol of sunlight, reason, and spiritual enlightenment. It is associated with intellectual insight, inner wisdom, and the highest truths of life.
The painting "In Search of Fading Summer" by a young artist represents a profound exploration of nostalgia and the transience of time.
The canvas depicts red wooden horses, like a ghostly herd from the past, galloping across a golden, sunlit field. The red color of the horses symbolizes the passion and energy of youth, evoking memories of carefree childhood days. The field, bathed in bright sunlight, conveys the feeling of summer at its zenith, when nature reaches its peak. The scorching heat emanating from the painting enhances the sensation of a sweltering summer day. However, despite the brightness of the scene, there is a sense of the approaching end of summer in the air. This subtle sadness reminds us of the fleeting nature of time and the inevitability of change.
The artist skillfully conveys this dual feeling, creating an atmosphere of joy and melancholy simultaneously. The painting invites the viewer to reflect on the brevity of life and the importance of cherishing each moment. "In Search of Fading Summer" emphasizes that despite the inevitability of change, the beauty and significance of the present moment remain with us if we learn to notice and appreciate them.
Off Borders (2023)
oil on canvas | 70х100 cm
The painting "Off Borders" combines symbolism and surrealism, captivating the viewer with its unusual composition and deep meanings. At first glance, the viewer sees an exotic tree with branches adorned with birdcages. Inside these cages are not birds, but blue rocking horses, imprisoned in golden cages. A key element is the fallen cage, from which a rocking horse makes its escape. The drama of the moment is emphasized by the golden ring rolling after the escaping horse, symbolizing liberation and the pursuit of freedom.
Beneath the cages with birds lies a huge black egg, pierced by white threads. Through the darkness and the cracked shell, light breaks through, contained within.
The painting "Off Borders" invites the viewer to ponder the nature of freedom, the desire to break free from constraints, and to find one’s place in the world. It uses bright and contrasting images to convey complex ideas and emotions, creating a refined visual narrative that leaves a deep impression and evokes a desire to delve into its hidden meanings.
Movement (2023)
oil on canvas | 50х100 cm
The painting "Movement" captures attention with its unconventional compositional approach and optical effects. On a white background, gray droplets create the illusion of a wave that seems to separate from the canvas. This symbolizes dynamism and constant change, reminiscent of the eternal flow of time and the inevitability of transformation.
The central element is a red rocking horse positioned at the crest of the wave. It embodies stability and childhood, something immutable in its essence, sharply contrasting with the movement of the droplets. The bright red color of the horse draws attention, serving as the focal point of the composition. The horse also symbolizes a vivid element of the mosaic of the past, which always accompanies us, reminding us of our childhood and origins.
Additionally, from the sides of the painting, red wooden bases of rocking horses protrude, creating the sensation of movement continuing beyond the canvas. This enhances the effect of motion and transition, creating the illusion of infinity and movement. Here, we see an allusion to the endless cycle of life, where each rocking horse symbolizes a new generation following the previous one, yet connected by common roots and traditions.
Philosophically, the painting raises questions about the nature of time and human memory. The wave can be interpreted as a metaphor for human life, full of ups and downs, while the rocking horse acts as an anchor, holding us in stability and memories. This contrast between movement and stillness prompts reflection on how we perceive time and changes in our lives.
Gaze (2022)
oil on canvas | 70х70 cm
This painting blurs the boundary between vision and sensation, transforming space into a vortex of emotions and movement. The composition is built upon an expressive interplay of color and texture, where bold strokes of dark and crimson intertwine in a dynamic spiral. They create a sense of instability, a swirling force that seems to pull the viewer into its depths.
At the center of the composition lies a white circle with a shadowed core—an image reminiscent of an eye peering into chaos. It becomes a focal point of tension, around which movement coils and swirls, as if capturing the instant of an internal eruption or a sudden moment of realization. This eye is not merely an organ of perception but a symbol of the observer, witnessing the collision of the external and internal worlds.
There is something primal, almost animalistic in this form—a silhouette of an ancient presence. Yet, there is no clarity here, only rhythm and expression, eluding the grasp of logic.
The background remains empty, yet this very emptiness serves as a counterbalance to the surging energy of the brushstrokes. It provides an anchor for the eye, allowing the gaze to return again and again to the central symbol.
