The Prophet I (acrylic on canvas, 40 x 12, 2013)

The septych is based on Alexander Pushkin's famous poem called The Prophet. Each work is a visualization of certain lines from the poem. This is the first piece from the series. Here is the part of the poem it represents.

Athirst in spirit, through the gloom

Of an unpeopled waste I blundered,

And saw a six-winged Seraph loom

Where the two pathways met and sundered.
