Abstract [eng] The painting collection „D. Numbers“ is a collection of five artworks, where is represented versartile, direct and indirect connection between human being and numbers. The theme of final Master degree collection is in the nature of psychology, philosophy, religion, education. I try to defy, motivating, to go deeper into the aspects of such kind of expression. There exists the limit of critical fracture, where emotional, psychological, physical and even artistical system disappears. All the time various scientists, physics, ezoterics, mystics and almost all religions try to guess, to calculate a global and individual limit, where particular system does not exist anymore. In the final collection „D. Numbers“ I try to embody and impersonate various definitions of numbers in the different situations of human beings. I write artistic texts for each artwork, which help to show different psychological states of my created character Samuel Dee. He has particular number for each moment. The numbers written on the painting gain different meaning and an abstract artwork becomes more mathematical, more literal-minded. Actually, that gave me fulfilment, satisfaction while painting, creating, rewriting numbers on canvas. I payed attention to nature and history of everyday numbers before starting my final collection. In the theory part of „D. Numbers“ collection I review number simbolism, analyze Indian numeral system, a spiritual aspect and characteristic of Pitagor’s numbers, budism philosophy and Kabala treatise which explains spiritual and material world and divides it into two realities – „1 percent and 99 percents“. There was used a method of analyzing and interpretation of literary and information origins in the theoretical part of the final work. I use different paints (acrylic, oil paints, oil pastels) and other materials (glue, coating, canvas) in the practical part. I used both techniques and technologines –conventional (painting with brushes of different sizes and types) and unconventional (putting paints on the canvas with different peaces of fabric, with hands, cleaning up, curettage paints from the canvas). By using these techniques I could reveal different compositions, expresion techniques and the idea. Moreover, I tried to provoke a fracture of conciousness in my personal painting system while driving each painting to particular number, in which the system breaks down. Each number is exclusive and has its own prosaic integument.
