Egypt is a land created by man day after day, year after year, a work that is renewed without end, where the creations are mixed with the image of the Creator. There are no sharp differences between gods and people: there gods dwell among mortals; their faces are the same human faces or the images of animals that surround them on earth and in heaven. In every piece of the Egyptian land - water and universal, cosmic fire, death and resurrection, human essence and divine essence.
That is why, when I saw one family of Egyptians, it seemed to me that the gods came to life, I wanted to draw them.
The thinking of the ancient Egyptian people was not rational - logical, but figuratively - symbolic. There was a magic principle that all perfect, great things are reflected in something small, outwardly nondescript - both above and below, the macrocosm is equal to the microcosm.
There were a lot of symbols in ancient Egypt.
