This original work, «Saint George the Victorious», was created by contemporary Ukrainian artist Sergey Bogolyubov and is available for purchase online.
Sergey Bogolyubov’s painting «Saint George the Victorious» presents a unique interpretation of the well-known theme. The artist, avoiding academic rigidity, creates an image imbued with the spirit of folk tales and naive art.
Before us is not a classic George clad in shining armor. His appearance is softened; he even somewhat resembles a doll. Dressed in a green suit and a straw hat, he looks more like a forest dweller than a stern warrior. This detail gives the image immediacy and makes it more relatable to the viewer.
George’s white horse, as if taken from a children’s carousel, gallops through the thicket. It is full of energy and enthusiasm; its rearing mane and flowing tail emphasize the dynamic moment.
The forest surrounding the heroes plays a key role in creating the atmosphere. Massive birch trunks with characteristic bark frame the composition like a portal to another world. The foliage, executed in relief painting technique, appears alive and voluminous. The bright greenery combined with ochre and brown tones creates a sense of density and shadow.
The dragon defeated by George is depicted at the bottom of the painting. It looks more amusing than frightening. Its red color contrasts with the green of the forest, making it a noticeable accent.
In the background, through the branches, a small temple with a golden dome is visible. It symbolizes faith and hope, reminding of the spiritual meaning of George’s victory.
Overall, Bogolyubov’s painting is not just an illustration of a famous legend. It is an authorial reinterpretation in which the traditional plot acquires new colors and meanings. The simplicity and naivety of the image, as well as the use of relief painting, make the work memorable and original. «Saint George the Victorious» invites the viewer into a fairy-tale world where good triumphs over evil, and heroes seem closer and more understandable.
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.
