PLAY BETWEEN SHADOW AND PRIMORDEAL WORLDS One can call it a GAME — that is the object of Your meditation, unusual collection of "windows into the world behind the mirror". It is quite a special kind of GAME with specific reciprocy rules between artist's conscience and event-condition field, whereas these specific rules do not coincide with conventional ones in psycho-socium of our field-time. What does this all mean when translated into the language of "general consumer"? It means that when one is in the process of relaxed, concentrated and (it is an obligatory condition!) honest and behevolent scrutinizing meditative object, that person may experience rather unexpected feelings-assosiations. And that person can attribute not all of these to the category of intuitively-beneficial (though some, surely, will create rather special condition of inneffable spiritual, and even time-spatial comfort); even more — part of these "toys" can be possibly attributed by someone to the rank of dangerous, leading to the SHADOW, covering our mind while asleep... Do not haste to take away your eyes off motive that has touched your hidden strings. Remember. Your are what your know about yourself. Try to think over your feelings, which arose from contact of your unique and only personified Microspace with the outer visual rank, copied by talented artist from the plan parallel to ours. Did you succeed? Could you define the difference between THIS state and conventionally-stressy-unfocussed method of reaction to illusions of our daily reality? In case you could not — then do not be upset. You will succeed. And it will happen quicker in case you will try more often to come inside this wonderful and attracting GAME. One day (or evening) will come when you start feeling something special, a state which is called INSPIRATION in the world of creators and philosophers. And then you will reach the level of interaction which is unreachable in usual daily routine — interaction with THE UNKNOWN, INEFFABLE and shakingly FULL-OF-LIFE WORLD, dwelled by rulers of earthly LIFE and... unknown manifestations of ourselves. Good luck in travelling to the GAME! Yury Lir, Eniology Doctor, Cholistic Medicine Doctor, Professor, member of American Academy of Religion and Psychical Investigations. The prince Nikolay Uvarov belongs to one of the most ancient families of the nobility. And at the same time to a very rare in all times type of an intellectual artist. The prince Uvarov, a graduate of the Latvian Academy of Art, finds his inspiration in the most unexpected spheres including Ray Bradbury's short stories and tale of Gilgamyesh. And he implements it with an irreproachable academic skill in the most different technique- oil and etching, engraving and watercolours, pencil, Indian ink. AU of a sudden cosmic lyrics is changed over to a biting political sarcasm, a tragic world perception to a generous Rablesian humour. The sixtieth anniversary of his birth the prince Uvarov has approached inspired with new opportunities and ideas. Conceptional depth, rational satiation were followed by works breathing a spirit of irralional spontaneity. They are the moulds of subconscious archetypes, taking eilher purely abstract forms or an image of Riga's Pardaugava mansions. So, the Orthodox prince, living in Protestant Riga, being sincerely in love with Musulman East, an eccentric erudite having a rare capacity for work and fantasy. This kind of personality seems to be very interesting outside Latvia as well. It is proved by purchases of his works made by collections from the USA, Germany, Israel. And one of his works belongs to Ray Bradbury's private collections. Nikolay Gudanets, literator.
