 Annotation. In this work, I want to talk about the little-known paintings of the Honored Artist of Russia Yuri Spiridonov, which were greatly influenced by his childhood and adolescence as an artist. These canvases were painted during the period of searches, in the manner of modern Art Nouveau and abstract art. He was born in Kosisty among the Dolgans, a family of reindeer breeders, which is obscure in the great outdoors of Siberia (Kozhevnikov Bay) and located on the shores of the Arctic Ocean in the territory of Anabarsky's district of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Once he finished with school, he was admitted to the Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia in Leningrad. Today, he lives in Yakutsk and is at the height of his creative urge. In his creative search, Yuri Spiridonov often turns to folklore and folk philosophy using a synthesis of the traditions of realism and abstraction in his works. These works show the commonality of worldview philosophy, poetics of folklore, not only of Siberian, but also of many Eurasian peoples. Using the "patchwork quilt" method in the abstract images of the "World Tree", understandable to the masses throughout almost all of Eurasia, he recreated the motives of ancient Siberia, whose inhabitants moved across the Bering Strait to North America.

 

Key words: Yuri Spiridonov, Honored Artist of Russia, creativity, modernism and abstractionism, the world tree, the middle world, paintings about the tundra.
