“Cat” 64” X 64”, oil on canvas, 2023 by Nicholas Shaplyko and Ekaterina Sorokina
Cat is very special and mysterious animal in many different cultures, for instance cats were a sacred animal in ancient Egypt. Since ancient times people let the cat first enter a new home before moving in. According to ancient believes cats have connections in the spirit world. Cats make friendship with the spirit of new home and protects it against evil. Another word cats bring harmony, love, and create a healthy environment inside the house. So, this artwork is the talisman of happiness to the house.
“Farewell” 64” X 64”, oil on canvas, 2023 by Nicholas Shaplyko and Ekaterina Sorokina
The separation of soul and body, the farewell which sooner or later every living creature would have to face.
Everything what was born must to die and everything what had die must to be born again.
This is the moment when soul had already slipped out of body but did not abandon it completely yet. The body is still alive is still sitting intact and its soul is resting on the hat’s edge.
The labyrinth of the life which body and soul passed through together. This journey had many physical and emotional turns and barriers along the way which they had overcome together helping each other, working as whole. And now is the time to separate. This is the moment when one cycle of life is almost finished and a new one has not begun yet. The horizon is empty and the door to the unknown is open. Now is time to go.
”Gunas” – 42” X 96”, oil on canvas, 2023 by Nicholas Shaplyko and Ekaterina Sorokina
Gunas is a Sanskrit word, meaning the tread, implying the original materials that weave together to make up reality. There are three gunas (triguna), that have always been and continue to be present in all things and being in the world. These three gunas are called: sattva (goodness, calmness, harmonious), rajas (passion, activity, movement), and tamas (ignorance, inertia, laziness).
All these three are present in everyone and everything. The interplay of these gunas defines the character of someone or something of nature and determines the progress of life.
“Orange River” – 42” X 96”, oil on canvas, 2023 by Nicholas Shaplyko and Ekaterina Sorokina.
“Orange” is the name of a river in Africa. It is symbolic, that river carry its orange water across the African continent, like red blood flows through the human body. It is like a chain of generations and civilizations come and go. Only small bits of the past had survived through time. These genetic cells contain bits of information which we are trying to understand now. Trying to put together spectacular puzzle of our past, trying to learn who we are and where we came from. This is a great mesmerizing mystery behind ancient artifacts. Ornaments are like coded manuscripts we are trying to unfold and read, using our feelings, our talents and sometimes our abilities to see inside our own subconsciousness.

ORACLE
“Oracle” – 42” X 88”, oil on canvas, 2023 by Nicholas Shaplyko and Ekaterina Sorokina
We had created our artwork “ORACLE” during a very hard period of our lives, almost at the turning point when we were unsure, which way our lives would go, if they would go at all. Extremely difficult, “life or death” situation and desperate search for the answer. We decided to ask the Universe, in our case we decided to ask our own subconscious to look for the answer inside our own microcosmos. We are artists and our subconscious is the only source of all our inspirations. We wanted to know who we are? Why we are here? What is the border between life and death? What is behind this border? To get answers we obviously would need divine communication or revelation. We need the Oracle. That’s how this painting was created.

French countryside
This artwork represents an emotional pattern of our travel in France.
During our trips we don’t make any sketches or camera snapshots, we are trying to absorb the emotional atmosphere of countryside, such as warmth of the sun, smell of autumn’s leaves, touch of wind, taste of local food and wine, sound of local language and more other details which is impossible to define in words. It is like a delicious taste of dish where you are unable to identify separate ingredients. That’s how we created this artwork. Returning from our trip we were trying to recall our feelings and see how we could recreate them using colors and composition. Another word we were not recreating the countryside we saw. We were trying to reveal our memories, our experience and our inspirations to create this image.

White Sun of Desert
This artwork was created after our travel to the Sahara Desert.
This is like another world, another planet, where the sun is white color and blinds you, makes your brain pulsate and in one blink of your eyes brings you into a different world. The contrast of bright light and deep shadows of dunes transforms everything around you into a different reality where surrealistic ocean of sands surrounds you, where barbed wind mowing sand waves and hot spray burns your skin.

Memory of Stars
This artwork is Psy-Art example, another attempt to dig into our subconsciousness, raising the same questions: “Who we are?” and “Where we came from?” Looking into the dept of cosmos we could see asteroids – the space and time travelers. Time in space works differently and has its own complex geometrical pattern. Asteroids carry information and maybe life itself, bringing it into different and far parts of the universe. Maybe they brought seeds here, which triggered the explosion of different life forms on planet Earth and the creation of humankind, intelligence, civilizations, the world we are living in right now. This backup memory may be stored in our subconsciousness and maybe the art is the right tool to look up into this memory file.

Red Desert Jewelry
Sunsets and Sunrises are unique in the desert. Morning and evening sunlight does the magic and makes dunes glow as jewelry. Lines on dunes edge dividing light and shadow so sharp and graphically perfect, so whole design and the beauty of natural masterpiece just mesmerizing. The palette of colors slowly changing revealing every moment new unforgettable visual effects of music which touch you so deeply than you would see and experience it in your dreams for many nights.

Faces of the Earth
We called this collection of oil pastels “Faces of the Earth” because it shows landscapes which are very seldom visited by humans. Here humans did not had a chance to make any interventions yet and we could have a rear opportunity to see true unspoiled face of our mother Earth with its beauty and glory with its poetry and ancient identity.
