The painting “Alchemical Ouroboros” by Dmytro Baryshev is a vivid and dynamic composition filled with symbols of life, transformation, and infinity. The central image depicts the cyclical motion of the Ouroboros, a mythical serpent or dragon biting its own tail. However, in this interpretation, the Ouroboros is presented through an abstract and multilayered structure, intertwining fantastical creatures, birds, fish, and elements of nature, as if engaged in a cosmic dance.
 
The color palette, rich with warm fiery tones of red, orange, and yellow, symbolizes energy and alchemical fire, while deep blues and purples evoke a sense of mystical infinity and cosmic depth. The intricate details — swirling lines, symbolic eyes, and elements reminiscent of ancient signs — emphasize the philosophical and alchemical context of the piece. The dynamic lines create a sense of constant motion, renewal, and transformation.
 
This painting by Dmytro Baryshev is not only a visually captivating work but also a profound philosophical reflection on the eternal cycle of existence, reviving interest in ancient symbols through modern artistic interpretation. It immerses the viewer in a world of metaphors, ideas, and symbols, evoking contemplation on the nature of life and infinity.
