About the Item

Anita Zotkina’s "Bound to Rise" is a 14 × 11 × 0.7 inch oil painting on canvas, created in 2025. Rendered in soft tones of blue, white, and pink, the composition features a bird poised between earth and sky, captured in a moment of quiet transition. Birds have long symbolized movement, change, and growth. In this work, the surrounding flowing forms suggest unseen currents that support the figure, conveying the idea that growth happens naturally when the time is right – not through force, but through alignment and readiness. This one-of-a-kind artwork is signed on the front and back, framed in a white 12 x 15 x 1.25 inch floater frame, and features painted sides for a clean, finished presentation. The piece is ready to hang. Anita Zotkina is a painter whose work explores themes of innocence, memory, and the quiet wonder of nature. Working primarily in oil on canvas, she has developed a distinctive style she calls Softique, characterized by soft lines, floating forms, and surreal yet tender atmospheres. Her paintings often depict animals and women in dreamlike environments, reflecting on childhood discoveries and life’s journeys with both their joyful and contemplative sides. Color is central to her practice, where luminous contrasts and layered blends create a sense of depth and emotional resonance. Through these intimate narratives, Zotkina seeks to capture fleeting moments of wonder and connection, offering viewers a pause from the pace of modern life. Zotkina is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.

Cuddly Snout (dog, snout, nose, lady, vintage, animal, surrealist oil painting)
By Rudolf Kosow
Located in Quebec, Quebec
"Cuddly Snout" by Rudolf Kosow is a stirring piece that captures the tender relationship between a human and an animal, portrayed through the striking close-up of a pet dog's snout, with a person resting peacefully against it. The animal's facial features are rendered with exquisite attention to texture and detail, each whisker and patch of fur beautifully accentuated. The small figure of the person, leaning with an air of contented ease against the snout, is a testament to the comfort and solace that animals provide. This closeness conveys a shared moment of rest, an unspoken bond of trust and affection that needs no words. The artwork’s title, "Cuddly Snout," encapsulates the warmth and gentle nature of this interaction, highlighting the simple, pure connections that form between the hearts of humans and animals. Kosow’s work invites us to reflect on the soft, quiet moments that we cherish with our pets, those times of closeness that bring us joy and comfort. It’s a visual homage to the silent, heartfelt communication that deepens our bonds with the animal companions who grace our lives. This painting is a tender reminder of the unconditional love and comfort that our furry friends bestow upon us, often becoming a serene haven in our lives. keywords; painting on canvas, surrealist painting, animal vs human, americana, nature, man, man vs nature, surrealism, giant animal...
