About the Item
Before you lies a unique work of art, born in the heart of Ukrainian spirituality — within the walls of the sacred Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The painting “Prayer” by artist Alexander Khrapachov (born 1981) is not just a picturesque canvas, but a deep philosophical reflection embodied in oil paints.
History of creation
Painted in 2024 directly on location, from life, against the backdrop of the majestic Assumption Cathedral, this work is imbued with the special energy of a holy place. Each brushstroke absorbed the age-old wisdom and spiritual power that had accumulated over centuries within the walls of the ancient monastery.
Artistic concept
The work belongs to the “Spirituality” series of paintings and reveals to the viewer an intimate dialogue of the nation's inner culture. The artist skillfully touches on the eternal questions of human existence — what is truth, which path is the right one? These philosophical reflections, which have troubled humanity for centuries, find their visual embodiment in a harmonious combination of academic precision and impressionistic sensuality.
