This original artwork “And so, the Earth was corrupted” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Vladimir Davydenko  and is available for sale online.

Vladimir Davydenko’s painting “And so, the Earth was corrupted” is a large-scale, dramatic, and disturbing canvas dedicated to the theme of the global flood and the moral decay of humanity. Freely interpreting the biblical plot, the artist creates a captivating visual image full of fear, despair, and warning.

At the center of attention of the painting is a raging sea, engulfing all living things. Waves rising like mountains carry debris of trees, bodies of people and animals, creating a feeling of chaos and death. The artist masterfully conveys the power and dynamics of the elements, using various shades of blue, green, and white to create a feeling of movement and iridescence of water.

Among the raging elements, you can see figures of people clinging to the wreckage of trees and trying to escape. Their faces, expressing fear and despair, speak of the hopelessness of the situation and the awareness of impending death. There is not a single happy person in the picture.

A special feature of the painting is the presence of wild animals, finding themselves in the same boat with people. Lions, wolves, and other beasts, seeming to be the embodiment of the bestial essence of man, emphasize the moral decay of society and its departure from divine laws. Water does not distinguish between the guilty and the righteous.

The background of the painting, executed in dark, muted tones, enhances the feeling of tragedy and hopelessness. The gray sky, shrouded in clouds, seems to foreshadow the imminent death of all living things.

Davydenko uses the technique of realism with elements of expressionism, focusing on conveying the emotional state of the characters and creating an overall impression of horror and fear. Dynamic brushstrokes, saturated colors, and contrasting shadows create a feeling of liveliness and realism.

Vladimir Davydenko’s “And so, the Earth was corrupted” is not just an illustration to a biblical plot, but like a visual warning about the consequences of moral decay and departure from moral principles. The painting reminds us of the importance of preserving spirituality, mercy, and love for our neighbor, in order to prevent the recurrence of such tragedies. It calls on us to think about our responsibility to future generations and what kind of world we will leave behind.
