Golden mean / 2024 / 120×100 / Canva, Oil, Acrylic, Oil pastel

The four-part composition titled «Golden Mean» is dedicated to Umberto Eco’s novel «Foucault’s Pendulum.» At the center of this composition, a golden pendulum is depicted, symbolically swinging between the white and black spheres, between good and evil. The pendulum embodies the pursuit of truth and the search for a golden balance — harmony between light and darkness.

This artwork was first shown at Svitlana Dudenko’s solo exhibition at the Pontifical Palace of the Cancellaria in Rome in October 2024.
