The painting, executed in oil paints on a wooden panel, is an amazing combination of classical landscape and surreal elements. The central object of the work is a castle or fortress located on top of a high cliff surrounded by green hills and a water surface. The sky above the landscape is filled with unusual objects resembling insects, but with obvious signs of fictional creatures or mechanisms. These elements fly in different directions, creating an atmosphere of a world where nature and fantasy combine into a harmonious whole.
Elena Bezhenova was born in the Caucasus. It was the place of birth that determined the artist’s interest in studying and observing nature.
