About the Item
"Here is a contemporary view of the millennial shrine of St. Sophia of Kyiv, the cradle of Ukrainian spirituality and statehood. This chamber study was born under the artist's brush in the open air, when the ancient walls of the cathedral told their secrets through the play of light and shadow.
St. Sophia of Kyiv is not just an architectural monument, but a living history book that began to be written in the eleventh century during the heyday of Kievan Rus. The artist skillfully conveys this dialectic of time, when eternal stones meet the changing light of the modern world.
The combination of academic precision and impressionistic sensitivity allowed to create a work that breathes the authenticity of plein air painting. Each stroke of oil carries a sense of presence - as if you were standing next to the artist under the walls of the temple, feeling the weight of centuries and the beauty of the moment.
Golden reflections on the ancient stone, soft shadows in arched niches, reverent silence that can be felt even through the canvas - all this turns the painting into a meditation on the eternal, on the connection between generations and the invincibility of the spirit.
The unique value of the work:
- An authentic plein air study near the most important shrine in Ukraine;
- A combination of historical significance and contemporary artistic vision;
- Masterful technique of academic impressionism;
- Chamber format, ideal for private contemplation;
- Freshness of creation (2024) - a modern view of eternal values;
This work will become the spiritual center of any interior, bringing a sense of the depth of time, tranquility and connection with the roots. Owning it is not just an acquisition of a work of art, but a touch of the living history of the nation."
