Open heaven

by Alexander Chernitsky · Minsk, BY

This work was done in 2007 in Sweden on the island of Klädesholmen and reflects the local seascape. A boy dressed in poor clothes of the early 20th century is a reflection of the state of my soul of that period. Purity and contemplation, stones and the sea, simple and free life, devoid of fuss. The thoughtful and cast into the distance gaze of the child asks what is life in essence. The heaven, like a living creature, opens a ray of hope and encourages him - go ahead, I am with you, and while your soul remains childish, I am with you and nothing wrong will happen to you.
