"Bird's Peace" by Zhanna Moskaliuk Toolen
Acrylic Painting
The work is made in the Petrykivka painting technique.
It depicts a decorative tree sprouting from an imaginary flowerpot, revealing a symmetrical composition of flowers, leaves, berries and birds. Two birds are located opposite each other as if having a quiet conversation among petals and fruits. Their wings are like a continuation of flower forms, and their gazes are like a bridge between the world of nature and inner peace. They symbolize family happiness, harmony, love and fidelity.
Rich burgundy, pink, orange, red and brown shades create a harmonious composition. It is dense, but breathing - each element has its place, its role and its energy.
This painting is an example of traditional Ukrainian art, where each element has a deep meaning associated with nature, family and national culture.
