Les Panchyshyn, Book of Life, 2024

"Book of Life" is part of Les figurative series and carries a deep philosophical meaning. In this painting, I depict a human figure as a bearer of the code of time. The work is filled with symbols from different eras: Egyptian signs, Roman numerals, and animal figures—all representing the continuous connection between the past and the present. A person is like a book, written throughout life, accumulating knowledge and experience. The vibrant colorful dots symbolize technological progress and the digital era in which we exist today. The central idea of this work is time as a carrier of information that shapes human existence.
