Ceiling (sketch for Chapel St. Anastasia Pskov) Roerich N.K. (Part 2)

The composition presents a celestial panorama rendered on a deep blue field. A central motif dominates: a stylized sun or cosmic orb, encircled by a complex arrangement of geometric and organic forms. This core element is framed by four angular projections, resembling stylized wings or brackets, each adorned with decorative details that suggest both architectural and natural elements.
Flanking the central sphere are two smaller celestial bodies – one depicting a crescent moon and the other a sun face, exhibiting anthropomorphic features. Scattered across the blue expanse are numerous golden stars, punctuating the space and reinforcing the cosmic theme. Several small, stylized figures with pointed ears appear intermittently around the perimeter of the composition, their presence enigmatic and potentially symbolic.
The color palette is restrained yet impactful. The deep blue provides a backdrop that evokes vastness and depth, while the gold accents draw attention to key elements and imbue them with an aura of significance. The use of warm tones within the central sun-like form contrasts with the cool blues, creating visual dynamism.
Subtexts embedded in this work appear to explore themes of creation, cosmology, and perhaps a personal spiritual vision. The anthropomorphic sun face suggests a connection between the divine and humanity. The stylized figures could represent spirits or guardians inhabiting this celestial realm. The overall arrangement conveys a sense of order and harmony within a larger cosmic structure, hinting at an underlying narrative or mythology. The deliberate flatness of the perspective and the simplified forms contribute to a dreamlike quality, suggesting that the scene is not meant to be interpreted literally but rather as a symbolic representation of profound concepts.
