About the Item
Anita Zotkina’s “First Day on Earth” is a 14 x 18 x 0.7 inch oil on canvas painted in 2023. This surreal, symbolic work features a newly hatched emu, perched upon a glowing egg beneath the quiet silhouettes of baobab trees. Rendered in luminous blues, violets, greens, and golden yellows, the piece captures a sense of wonder, emergence, and memory. The layered textures and vibrant palette reflect the artist’s childhood recollections of observing ostriches at the zoo, reimagined through a dreamlike, contemporary lens.
This original painting is unframed, with painted edges for a finished look, and is signed on the front and back.
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.
