Ivan Pylypenko's works are executed in light colours, which creates a special mood and a special world. Everything here is full of light, however, it is not the light of the sun or stars, but a different, unknown light that dissolves the boundaries between objects and connects everything together. The opaque becomes permeable, everything is permeated with light, and another reality emerges on the border of the earthly and heavenly worlds, where time and Eternity do not negate each other, but are present simultaneously, and natural colours do not completely disappear, but are illuminated to the fullest. It is impossible to determine the time of day in the landscapes: the earthly moment gives way to the moment of Eternity. All of the artist's works are similar in that they reflect not the beauty of earthly nature, but the beauty of peace, Eternity and light.
