Young Russian Artists: The Rite of Spring

This work is from the "Prayers" series. 

“While painting, I was thinking about saints and what holiness is in general. These images portray the process of prayer. The creatures depicted, whether alive or carved out of stone, are in a certain state of ritual and ceremony, they manifest the state of an enlightened mind with which they are trying to identify. These works are a reminder of the power of a person's word, the power of their faith in something.” - Madu Akhmedova, 2021.
