Stairs to the Underground
"Stairs to the Underground", acrylic on canvas, 2021, Bishop Maxim
The elliptical ladder is characterized by an expression of mystery and conspiracy, as if it were a cunning companion with intermittent thoughts protagonists from the underworld. The cold, turquoise color of the floor, in the splendor of the complementary color of the surroundings, leaves us for a moment with a feeling of refreshment at high temperatures of the tormented main hero. The black color in the background shows a fight in the houses of a man from the underground and a living sensation, which makes the hedgehog want to build stable buildings and need nothing, with whom Dostoevsky fought.
