Yury Salko. «The Night Prayers’ Wings» Dream is real, the reality is absurd, because it is surreal, and art is a wonderful fusion of the real and the imaginary in their interpenetration. The artist strives in his work to embrace the eternal mysteries of mankind through the universal symbols, through the materialization of the artistic sensibility, through reading texts penetrating "eternal books" and prayer. According to the observations of the largest representative of the romantic painting of the German 18th century Caspar David Friedrich: “Every real creature of has its conception at holy hours, has its birth at happy hours, mostly without perception for an artist, out of an irrepressible impulse of heart...” The author does not mean, but hints, he puts the dots instead of the points and absolutely not accidentally, but consciously provokes us to participate in the process of co-creation, encourages the production of more and more associations which are not limited by stereotypes and conventions. The artist wants to avoid the traditional understanding of symbols and move the emphasis from preliminary task on ambiguity, diversity, giving the viewers the freedom of their own interpretations of what they have seen. When the daily bustle ceases and people's voices are replaced by the rustle of midnight birds and everything is filled with some quiet unearthly radiance, one begins to feel himself differently. As the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer remarked: “In solitude one sees in himself what he really is”. And by removing the mask of the day, one is going through some experience of "mystical insights of reality as it is." When perpetual censor - the mind is powerless, it is time to soul. The night is a mystery when Disembodied Heavenly Forces open the gates of the universe and the soul acquires wings. The Night Prayer is the strongest one — open the doors of repentance to me, Giver of Life! The Night Prayer is the Sacrifice. The Lord always comes to Sacrifice. And if your heart is open while you are praying and your thoughts don’t wander, you’ll feel His touch and anointing, you’ll feel His love and unity with Him. It is a real Happiness to be with Him and to be filled with His presence! The Lord answers through this sacrifice. His Word comes alive in me. The Lord destroys evil demands of all people condemning me, stopped the mouths and hearts of all slandering, spiteful and roaring at me, and all the blaspheming and degrading me. He gives me peace of mind to find anything that the new day is bringing. He guides my will and teaches me to pray, to believe, to hope, to suffer, to forgive and to love. I entrust my soul to His hand before going to bed and upon waking, and together with the soul I entrust Him my body. The Lord is with me, and I will not fear. And the spirit and the soul are filled with joy and jubilation. And it seems that the wings grow behind my back, my body is full of energy and is renewed in force. Like in the promise of the prophet Isaiah: "They’ll stretch their wings as eagles; they’ll run and won’t be weary, they’ll go and won’t grow weary ..."
