Cycles of Transition – A Surreal Vision of Future Humanity Цикли переходу – сюрреалістичне бачення майбутнього людства

“Pyramid of Ascension” is a visual cosmology that unites the transition between civilizational cycles with the inner evolution of humanity. The left side of the painting represents the world of the previous cycle, governed by time, nature and repetition. The crescent appears as the primordial matrix of creation, the river and vegetation symbolize the origins of life, and the Warrior of Time stands not as a conqueror but as the one who cuts through time itself, revealing the rupture of an old order. The fractured foundation beneath him reflects a world whose structures can no longer sustain the coming era. The right side reveals the world of the future cycle. Sirius shines as a spiritual sun and a symbol of higher consciousness; the red sun with the Eye of Ra signifies the presence of higher intelligence; and the black hole evokes the cosmic law of return and the cyclical rhythm of existence. The path of initiation unfolds from the world-monad through the skull of Adam – the material root of humankind – and rises past angels, the sacred grove, the sphinxes and the pyramid toward ascension, where matter and spirit merge into one cosmic pulse. This central axis mirrors the philosophical message of the author’s work “EPOCH OF RUPTURE CIVILIZATIONAL CRISIS”, which describes the modern world as a point of bifurcation between the collapsing structures of the old civilization and the emergence of a new one. Technological saturation, global instability and cultural crisis demand an inner transformation and the rise of “future humans,” capable of maintaining balance during the transition. The painting expresses the same idea: beginnings and endings are phases of a larger evolutionary rhythm, and Ascension is not escape into another realm but the movement toward a higher integration where humanity finds harmony between matter, spirit and the cosmos.
