About the Item

Original artwork description: This is the very enemy that made me afraid to go out into the yard. Everyone who grew up in the countryside knows the fear that fills a child's heart when they come face to face with a dangerous monster. He is the embodiment of courage, warrior spirit and vigilance. What did you see in his eyes? This artwork is the first piece in the “Village” series. This series feels like a gentle breeze, the sound of crickets on a warm evening, the crowing of roosters at five in the morning. It's waking up early to work in the garden before the burning sun appears. It's eating the simplest sandwiches out in the field, yet they taste like the best you've ever had. It's the cool tea brewed with mint and lemon balm that refreshes you in the summer heat. It's the joy of seeing swallows faithfully return each year to the little nest they once built. It's walking through quiet village streets at dusk, without the rush of cars or crowds — just you, nature, and the calm mood of the evening. This series is special to me — my first one! It shows simple, real life, away from today's focus on wealth and perfection. A life where you can relax, connect with nature, and enjoy the little things that truly matter. EXHIBITION: Exhibition in honor of Artist's Day Uzhgorod Gallery (Sept. 26, 2025 - Oct. 13, 2025). Framed images are provided for inspiration and demonstrate possible framing options. This artwork is offered unframed.
