Olga Volchkova: Icons of Nature

I'm saddened by the continued destruction of ways of living that are in harmony with nature. As a result of this destruction we survive, in a way, but we cannot be fully alive. The people in the center of the destruction seem to live in terrible fantasies within which we are, unfortunately, forced to struggle. But for me, this is a hopeful painting. When we see what is wrong, we can fix the problems, and ressurect our harmonious relationship with nature, again living lives that are fair, stable, beautiful, and complete.
