Роспись стен культурного центра "Салют"
Contours of Culture 24'
In the second season of the «Contours of Culture» project, 15 artists implemented their sketches at various locations in Moscow. Artist Ibrahim Shanayev, the winner of the second season of the «Contours of Culture» project, created the mural «Cosmic Rhythms», reflecting the idea of human conquest of space.
One wall depicts our civilization striving to explore the surrounding world. The other wall showcases the mysterious Universe, where planets, stars, and other astronomical objects are intertwined.
Stylized abstract forms convey the enigma of the endless space of the cosmos. The right wall features an abstract composition in which familiar cosmic objects can be discerned. Here are planets, celestial bodies, stars, and comets. Eyes symbolize the contemplation of the eternal mysteries and riddles of the Universe. Since ancient times, humans have sought to explore the surrounding world and cosmos; the gaze of an explorer, dreamer, and artist is turned towards the sky. The combination of colors conveys a sense of infinity, while dynamic elements represent the eternal movement of celestial bodies. On the left wall, architectural details are depicted in a stylized abstract form. Columns, buildings, and windows denote human existence on the planet. Rays pointing upwards signify the start of cosmic discoveries, humanity’s striving to overcome Earth’s gravity and break into cosmic space. Overall, the composition emphasizes the connection between Earth and the cosmos, the earthly and the eternal.
