Hyperborea is the northern birthplace of humankind. Hyperboreans were mythical people who lived “beyond the North Wind”. They lived free of war and diseases. Most of the country was covered with rich and beautiful forests, “the garden of Apollo”. Hyperborea was ruled by three priests of the god Apollo. Some people placed Hyperborea in Siberia, others at the North Pole, and others – in Greenland.
Legend of ancient Hyperborea is one of the most controversial and intriguing alternative versions of history. Most people believe that it is a wonderful fairy tale. But Vsevolod Ivanov thinks it is a true story. The artist shows us strange Gods, herds of mammoths and the pagan rites of Vedic Russia. He paints the everyday life of the legendary land and its inhabitants. In his pictures we can see the mythic culture of northern ancestors. Wonderful images created by his imagination take you away from the real world.
