beginning of life

This is the fourth painting in the series Beginning.

Is man at the peak of his development, or has the human race not made any progress since the stone ages?

I believe that the human race has never been at a higher level. There have always been extraordinary individuals around, but the human race has never been at a higher level as a collective.

That is also why, many have started to see and question our way of life today. However, in order to correct this and get out of the dead end, we have to remember our roots and the beginning of life on earth, when we were close to nature and followed our feelings because our life depended on it. Again, our lives still depend on this feeling, and we must reach it once again to be able to move ahead.
