Against the Light

A majestic scene of confrontation.

Dark forces advance from both sides, pressing inward, trying to extinguish the light in the center.

The light takes the form of a young woman - delicate yet radiant - who stands as a symbol of a violated homeland, targeted not for its weakness, but for its existence. Among the conflicting forces, a wolf stands out as a symbol of brutality and predatory power, amplifying the sense of threat and inevitability.

Painted in acrylic on canvas, this painting captures a moment of suspended tension between collapse and resistance. The darkness here is not inert; it moves, gathers, and penetrates. Yet the light remains - not as pride, but as a challenge.

Painted in 2014, this painting speaks of struggle, survival, and man's constant refusal to give up meaning to violence.
