This page features artworks from the "The Priestess of the Sun" project, part of Yuliya Alagir's "Mystery of the Sun" direction, which began in 2001 and continues to this day. This project is dedicated to the divinity of feminine nature, its strength, wildness, and capacity for submission. The Priestess of the Sun acts as a mediator between heaven and earth, igniting the Sun and bestowing the world with beauty, strength, and prosperity; the woman is the essential connecting key in the creation of the world. It is no surprise that throughout history, there have been numerous examples of women embodying strength and wisdom. In Ancient Egypt, priestesses such as Hathor were associated with solar energy and regarded as protectors of women. Similarly, in the cultures of Mesopotamia, priestesses of Ishtar symbolized both love and war, highlighting their multifaceted nature. These archetypes inspire Yuliya to create new images, where each painting reflects the inner world of women, their power, and independence. Yuliya Alagir does not merely reproduce images; she explores and interprets the symbolism of the Sun, delving into cultural roots linked to the ancient Indo-Iranian clan of Alagata. This clan was known for its rituals of sun worship and preserved solar symbolism through ceremonies grounded in harmony with natural cycles. Like the priests of this clan, Yuliya seeks to revive ancient symbols, offering contemporary viewers new ways to contemplate their values. In her works, she invites audiences to ponder crucial questions about the role of women in society and their ability to influence the world around them. These paintings evoke emotions and foster dialogue about femininity, making them relevant and significant in today’s context. Yuliya Alagir's artworks have the power to evoke profound emotions and resonate with modern viewers seeking to understand the essence of unity and existence. They are not merely paintings but portals to a realm of ancient knowledge and power, reflecting the divine essence and uniqueness of each woman.
