As a designer, I often meet with architects in historic buildings. Once I came to a meeting and saw this arched gallery. There was no limit to my admiration. The light in the gallery was refracted and created the effect of moving into eternity. I was so inspired by these arches that I decided to portray them immediately. As a symbol, an arch means a transition to a new quality, to a new life. This is a kind of portal that takes you to the unknown and gives you the opportunity for transformation.
The glass sphere is a magic symbol, thanks to which we can refract the situation and show it from the inside. Do you really need to take a new step and move on, or is it better to take a step back and wait? The ball seems to bring confusion into the soul and make one think, while the arched gallery calls for action.
The piece is painted in warm-cold shades of gentle blue and yellow, which emphasize the contrast and add magic to the image.
