Snake Charmer

May 16, 2024
CreateCulture Space, Karmelitu g. 5, Vilnius, Lithuania

Anastasia Rydlevskaya's "Snake Charmer" exhibition invites viewers into an exploration of the human psyche, drawing from a rich cultural tapestry blending elements of paganism and Jungian psychology. Through their artistry, Rydlevskaya intertwines mythological themes with profound symbolism to depict the timeless battle against inner obstacles.

At the exhibition's core lies the symbolic serpent, a motif deeply rooted in mythologies all around the world and has complex array of meanings. From representing the cyclical nature of life to embodying transformation and renewal, danger and healing, the serpent serves as a powerful metaphor. Rydlevskaya's artwork captures the essence of this symbolism, encouraging viewers to delve into their own inner struggles and triumphs.

Throughout the exhibition, icy serpents slither across the canvases, evoking primal fear alongside resilience. Rydlevskaya's portrayal encourages viewers to confront their own shadows and embrace empowerment.

Central to the exhibition's narrative is the Ouroboros, a symbol with roots in ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology, as well as alchemy. Representing the eternal cycle of destruction and rebirth, the Ouroboros depicts a serpent or dragon devouring its own tail. This imagery signifies the interconnectedness of all things, as well as the cyclical nature of existence.

Rydlevskaya's incorporation of the Ouroboros prompts deep reflection on life's continuous evolution and the profound interconnectedness of the universe. Through its symbolism, viewers are encouraged to confront their inner shadows and embark on a journey of self-discovery. By embracing this transformative power, individuals can find strength and resilience in the face of life's challenges, drawing wisdom from ancient traditions.
