Charon is the minor god of the underworld, whose duty is to ferry over the river of death the souls of the newly deceased. This artwork is an analytical composition, based on a feeling of inner and eternal coldness, reflected in this poem:
Grief will eat through your soul.
A frame of ice from all sides.
Charon is calling out:
“Pass your fee for the ride!”
And outside is all ice.
A thousand cold dead years.
There’s no discount for you,
No discount, he says.
- Ivan Davydov

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Dina's drawings and paintings follow the school of Analytical Abstractionism (see www.analytical-art.com).
It employs a process of non-programmed creating forms from particular to whole, analysing the appearing image rather than synthesizing it. Try to understand not "what", but "how" it is done.
Be interested not in the face of the clock, but in the inner mechanism to understand progression of time.
