And if to listen to the beating of your own heart a little, you will certainly feel slightly perceptible presence. Painting by Russian cosmic artist Elena Voinova-Bogoroditskaya can be attributed to the direction in art born in the XX century and named “Space Art”.

Their stories are real, but this reality of a higher order than that surrounding us.
