"Krishna and Christ" (Кришна и Христос)

A programmatic canvas of the "Great Teachers of Humanity" cycle: two images of the world's spiritual history brought into a single space as symbols of shared moral values.

The meaning of the work lies not in comparing religions or in preaching, but in the search for the common values that different cultures have expressed in different languages. Krishna and Christ are here images of one human striving toward compassion, wisdom and service.

The large format of the canvas is intended for museum viewing and unhurried reading: the composition keeps its distance, while colour and light work as a language of accord rather than opposition.

The work belongs to the "Great Teachers of Humanity" cycle, which gathers figures from the world's spiritual and cultural history — Buddha, Zoroaster, Moses, Solomon, Christ, Muhammad, Sergius of Radonezh, Krishna, Vaivasvata Manu and others.
