The painting depicts Simargl, the mighty guardian of the roots of the Tree of Life — half dog, half bird, embodying the strength of the soil and vegetation. He is the embodiment of "armed goodness," adorned with claws and fangs that emphasize his protective nature. The expression in his eyes is filled with hope and enthusiasm, seeking to awaken these feelings in the hearts of those who contemplate the artwork. The painting recreates an almost forgotten image, veiled by the deep layers of ancient belief. These insights reveal their relevance, contributing to the modern Ukrainian people in their struggle for freedom and self-determination.
