Альбом состоит из двух частей: «Пути земные» и «Перед Тайной». Первая часть включает написанные в разное время, в основном в Ферапонтово, пейзажи – размышления о живописном пространстве и своеобразной природе Русского Севера, а также рисунки пастелью, сделанные на Украине. Вторая часть «Перед Тайной» – основная в альбоме. Работы, представленные в ней глубинно связаны с многолетним опытом творческих медитаций в группе профессора В.В. Налимова и Ж.А. Дрогалиной. Этот опыт позволил мне прикоснуться к Тайне, многое переосмыслить, помог в поисках своей темы и своего изобразительного языка.
