“Dad!” Painting

The idea of ​​the painting "Dad!" came to me during a trip to the south of Russia. There I was interested in the beautiful peaceful spaces and territories for military exercises in them. I went with my husband and son and they were immediately part of the compositions I saw. Dad and son. Observing them at the same time, nature and military objects prompted me to think about the generations of men replacing each other. From this theme, a plot was born in which the father is in one space, and the son is already in another. I also deliberately made my own perspective and horizon line for each space. By this I wanted to depict more expressively that there are two lines of life with a time shift. The father sits on the observation tower for tank exercises, he is in a more enclosed and structured space. Its history is more complex. While the son seems to fly out of this space into a peaceful landscape - something distant, free and not yet formed. Something ahead. In this work, I created the air of a peaceful life, which I hope will remain so. There are a lot of my hopes and wishes for my husband and son.
