About the Item

Anita Zotkina's “The Protectors” (24 x 20 x 0.7 inches, oil on canvas) is a symbolic painting that explores themes of resilience and guardianship in a modern world of contrasts. A luminous wolf, painted in shifting shades of blue, grey, and green, stands watch at the edge of nature. Around it, spectral wolves emerge in pale blue, aqua, and silver tones, as if rising from the mist, reinforcing the theme of collective strength. On the left side of the composition, abstract forms in metallic and iridescent grey, silver, and violet suggest the encroachment of machinery and expansion. Against this mechanical backdrop, the wolves unite in solidarity, representing protectors of what remains of the natural world. The grassy hill is brought to life in vibrant yellow, green, and turquoise, adding warmth and grounding to the scene. This one-of-a-kind artwork is created with professional oils and interference pigments that shift under changing light. Signed and dated on both the front and back, the painting has painted sides for a finished look. It is unframed and 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.
