“Heaven and Water I”
Mauritz Escher, 1938.
Why do we love magic tricks? Because they, safely for our psyche, make us feel the presence of magic for a few seconds. With Escher's paintings, in which the artist explored the regularities of space, the same thing happens. At first glance - beautiful paintings, but then we realize that something is wrong with the image, and then we begin to figure out where the artist “tricked” us.

“The Great Flood”
Kurt Joseph-Désiré, 19th century
In the biblical book of Genesis, God flooded the earth, sparing only Noah and his family, who were tasked with building the ark. Everyone else perished in the great flood. Instead of illustrating Noah's life, the artist shows us a scene from the other side of the story.
The man saves the old father, ignoring the wife and son who are closer to him. The mother symbolizes life, the son symbolizes the future, and the old man symbolizes the past. By clinging to the past, the man loses life and the future.

“Hands oppose him”
Bill Stoneham, 1972
Bill Stoneham's painting was painted from photogaphy in 1972. It has a curious and mystical story. It depicts a boy and a girl doll standing in front of a glass door with small hands pressed against the other side.
The author says that the painting depicts himself at the age of five, that the door is a representation of the dividing line between the real world and the dream world, and that the doll is a guide to lead the boy through this world. The hands represent alternative lives or possibilities.

“Tragicomedy Box”
Jaroslav Herzhedowicz, 2013.
When asked where he gets his inspiration from, he replied that the arrival of both an image and an idea resembles an electrical discharge. It can be triggered by anything, such as the title of a song, a phrase in an old western, the way the outline of a city looks on the horizon, and so on. The most stable generator of inspiration is the sky with clouds.

“Infidel”
Hari Lualhati
Hari Lualhati explains her intention for the painting as, “Indefinite desire leads to heartache and suffering. Appreciate what you have instead of giving in to infidelity.”
