The painting "Up" explores the issue of abandonment by God in contemporary society. European society is undergoing a crisis of faith, and what was once a meaning of life for people in earlier epochs has ceased to be a hope for salvation for modern individuals, reduced merely to the observance of a specific ritual.
The painting depicts a young man gazing hopelessly upward at the sky. Behind him on the wall, there is graffiti depicting the "Ascension of Christ." The graffiti, on the one hand, points the way to salvation, and on the other hand, it is a sacred symbol turned into just another drawing on the wall.
