This original work "In the village of Abalak" was created by the contemporary Russian artist Alexander Samokhvalov and is available for purchase online.
Alexander Samokhvalov's painting "In the village of Abalak" is a remarkable piece in which the images of Russian folklore come to life, merging with a realistic depiction of rural life. The artist creates a fairy-tale yet very earthy image, inviting the viewer into the world of Russian folk tales.
The central element of the painting is a hut on chicken legs, which, according to the inscription on the facade, belongs to "Baba Yaga." The hut is made of massive logs with rough but expressive carving. Its roof is covered with straw, and the wooden annex with a staircase looks impressive and mysterious. Decorative elements on the hut's facade resemble fairy-tale images: skulls, bones, stylized figures.
The staircase leading to the door is decorated with carved posts. On the landing in front of the entrance stands a wooden barrel, and nearby — a broom, as if the owner has just stepped out. The hut's windows are small and appear dark, adding intrigue.
The rural landscape spreads around the hut. In the foreground is a stone-paved path and grass among which stumps and small wooden posts are visible. Behind the hut stretches a body of water, likely a river or lake, and on the horizon, a line of fields and forest can be seen, painted in softer, blurred tones.
The sky above the village is clear, blue, with light white clouds, creating the feeling of a sunny, warm day.
Alexander Samokhvalov masterfully combines the realism of rural buildings with fantastic elements. "In the village of Abalak" is a painting that awakens childhood memories, evokes thoughts of fairy tales, and shows how folk stories can come alive on canvas, bringing a touch of magic to everyday life.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
