The artwork depicts a sunset in the gardens of St Sofia Cathedral in Kyiv (Ukraine). St Sofia Cathedral is one of the oldest orthodox cathedrals in the world, built in the 11 century. Having the ancient frescoes and mosaics, it’s a landmark of great historical significance and one of the symbols of Ukraine.
The painting features the lantern shining bright in the twilight. The painting is made in impasto technique, which means thicker paint and larger stokes, which creates a unique texture. The colours of the painting are magical as well. Look closer to see the blues, purples and pinks of the sunset.
The painting is created to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day!
