The Mycelial Threshold

Author: Pavel Petrenko Acrylic on board. 9x12 inch.
Year: 2013 Price: $216

Step into a vibrant, altered reality with The Mycelial Threshold. This mesmerizing work transforms a classic Pacific Northwest forest motif—the iconic Amanita muscaria (fly agaric) mushrooms—into a pulsing, electric vision. Using a highly meticulous, pointillist application of raised paint, the artist builds the composition out of thousands of tiny, jewel-like dots. Brilliant scarlet caps with golden accents emerge from a swirling vortex of deep blues, forest greens, and bright neon yellows. The heavy, tactile relief gives the canvas a physical vibration, capturing the hidden, intelligent energy of the forest floor. It is an unforgettable statement piece that perfectly balances raw natural mystery with a striking contemporary execution.

  Svetlana Makarova My name is Svetlana Makarova, and I live in Ukraine. I have been creating art since childhood. Art is a vital part of my life. Though I don't have formal academic training, I am a self-taught painter with boundless imagination, developing a unique style and my own vision of the world through imagery in my paintings. I work in the genres of magical realism, symbolism, and surrealism, often blending styles within a single canvas. Some of my original works are held in private collections in Russia and the USA. My style and creativity have been influenced by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Henri Rousseau, Michael Parkes, Ilene Meyer, Freydoon Rassouli, Vladimir Kush, and others. My art is a journey into worlds where dreams intertwine with reality, and magic becomes an integral part of life. Through my paintings, I aim to express the interconnectedness of all things and to convey the inexpressible through my visual thoughts; I share my vision of the world and the one ...

  Butterfly's Dream Author: Svetlana Makarova Professional Oil Paint. 23.5x31.5 inch. Year: 2018-2021 Style: Fantasy, Surrealism Price: $3000 Against a black background, vibrant streams of color intertwine and flow, giving rise to fantastical forms. Black-and-white geometric patterns cut through the chaos, introducing structure and order into an ever-changing visual universe. The work is inspired by the ancient philosophical question: What does a butterfly dream about? Perhaps its dreams are no different from those of the cosmic soul itself. Matter emerges from emptiness; motion arises from stillness; color, form, and life unfold from the void. Yet all creation remains fragile, capable of dissolving and reforming in an endless cycle of transformation. The painting reflects on the illusory nature of perception and reality. Just as human dreams blur the boundaries between imagination and existence, the butterfly's dream becomes a metaphor for the fleeting and subjective worlds cr...
