The article is devoted to the works of non-professional Russian artist P. S. Bakhlykov, who focused his attention on the reconstruction of the archaic ideas of the Yugan Khanty, preserving the foundations of their ethnic culture. The main attention is focused on the ways by which P. Bakhlykov embodies the ancient ideas about the relationship and proportionality of a man and the natural world, reflected in the mythopoetic system and constituting the substrate of traditional culture.
