Harvest Festival

Oil painting made on cotton canvas.

Artist’s note: “I started working on the painting at the end of summer. Stubble fields all around. The sun is warming pleasantly. And there is this kind of bliss, bathed in yellow light. The horizon of the fields is cleared. I wanted to capture this moment, yet at the same time, it is impossible to be neutral towards the ongoing human massacre. The global influx of information. From autumn, I jumped into winter, and that is where the red entered.”
