This page presents artworks from the "Abode of the Sun" project within the "Mystery of the Sun" direction by Yuliya Alagir, initiated in 2000 and ongoing to this day. The uniqueness and vibrancy of her works manifest in rich hues, expressive textures, and the use of natural materials, which lend a sense of eternity and depth to the art. Each of her pieces is not merely a reflection of ancient solar symbols but a profound interpretation of them through a contemporary context. Yuliya offers a new understanding of these symbols, connecting them with the archetypal memory of humanity that still lives within us. Comparing Alagir's solar circles to petroglyphs from Northern Europe evokes a sense of unity in humanity's cultural heritage. She does not merely reconstruct these symbols; she immerses them in a new artistic context that refers back to the great solar temples of the world—from Teotihuacan in Mexico to the Surya Temple in India. In Egypt, at the temple of Ra, and in Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the Sun was the center of worship and a source of life, and Yuliya skillfully integrates these ideas into her works. However, her explorations go even deeper—they examine how ancient priests and mystics concealed sacred knowledge beneath layers of symbolism and rituals, passing it only to the chosen few. The geometric figures in her paintings evoke encrypted messages from ancient civilizations. Like petroglyphs hidden on rocks, her works offer viewers keys to understanding the lost languages of ancient priests who worshipped the Sun. Perhaps Yuliya is not merely an artist but a "messenger of the Sun," awakening in us kindness, peace, and interaction. Her works provoke new perspectives on ancient civilizations and demonstrate how these "encrypted messages" retain their significance through millennia, continuing the dialogue between the past and the present. The art of Yuliya Alagir is not just about contemplation; it is an invitation to reflect on our place in this great cosmic dance. So let us ponder together and explore new horizons!
