“Overture in Basil Minor”
A Cubist Reflection of Moscow’s Crown
 
A symphony of fractured domes and mirrored memories, Overture in Basil Minor reimagines the legendary St. Basil’s Cathedral through a cubist lens - where architecture dissolves into dream. Built between 1555 and 1561 under Ivan the Terrible, the cathedral stands as a historic symbol of triumph and devotion. In this work, its vibrant silhouette is deconstructed and reborn, flowing across the canvas like a reflection in shifting water.
This painting explores the balance between faith and form, history and abstraction. It invites the viewer into a moment of stillness that feels both ancient and entirely new.
