Heroic retro-utopian world in the work of Russian artist Pavel Ostrovyshev

The subject of the study is how the Russian artist Pavel Pokidyshev expresses and reconstructs an idealized social scene through his unique painting language. The article examines the following aspects in detail: the formation and expression of the painting language, the concept of time in the works (linear and interwoven time), the synthesis of visual elements from different cultures, and the mechanisms of constructing and conveying utopian ideals through visual art. Special attention is given to how Pavel Pokidyshev constructs the language of painting when transitioning from late Medieval art to early Renaissance art. The recreation and imagination of the "ideal society" in his works, the confrontation and merging of cultures from different historical periods, and how this reflects the concept of "linear interweaving of time." The concept of "linear interweaving of time" as a way to combine the mystical religious art of the Middle Ages, the knightly spirit, and the humanism of the Renaissance to recreate a utopian world, peaceful, harmonious, and free of contradictions. This work employs the method of systematization, the method of abstraction, and the method of literature analysis, combined with a metaphysical methodology of research. The main conclusion of the conducted research is that in the work of Pavel Pokidyshev, the styles of late Medieval and early Renaissance art merge, creating an art form that transcends generations. The author's special contribution is the visual overcoming of the boundary between reality and fantasy in his works, successfully combining reason and sensibility, tradition and innovation, mystery and humanism. His female figures, as spiritual symbols, embody individuality and the freedom of humanist thought of the Renaissance. At the same time, Pokidyshev dismantles the concept of linear time and constructs an idealized utopian world using complex historical elements and narratives in which space and time intertwine. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that Pokidyshev's art transcends the boundaries of time and history through a subtle language that returns to the values of human culture and thought and explores the relationships between reason and individual freedom. Evoking nostalgia for medieval mysticism while reflecting the intellectual liberation of the early Renaissance, his works form a unique bridge between tradition and modernity, demonstrating a profound connection between history and time.
