About the Item

Anita Zotkina’s “Porcupine’s Quiet Path” is an 8 × 8 × 0.7 inch oil on canvas painted in 2025. This gentle, dreamlike work follows a small porcupine as it wanders through soft grass glowing with deep blue, violet, turquoise, and warm amber tones. The figure moves with calm assurance, embodying quiet strength and gentle power. Inspired by Native symbolism, the porcupine is seen as a keeper of wisdom - protected yet unthreatening, a small teacher of balance and grace. The atmosphere is peaceful and contemplative, inviting the viewer to slow down and reconnect with the tender side of the natural world. This original painting is unframed, with painted edges for a finished look, and is signed on the 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. Zotkina is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.
