A painting from the series "Wild Africa".
This original work «The familiar path» was created by the contemporary Russian artist Irina Moskaleva and is available for purchase online.
Irina Moskaleva’s painting «The familiar path» transports the viewer to a landscape where human life and the wild nature of Africa are closely intertwined. The artist masterfully depicts a scene in which a woman carrying a load returns along a familiar path, while local inhabitants — monkeys — watch her from the trees and the ground.
At the center of the composition is the figure of a woman walking along the path. She carries a heavy load on her head, likely gathered fruits or firewood, indicating her daily labor. The woman is depicted in simple white clothing, emphasizing her purity and focus on the path. Her posture expresses strength and endurance.
Around the woman, in the tree canopies and on the ground, monkeys are positioned. Their presence hints at the closeness of the human and animal worlds in this area. The monkeys are painted in reddish-brown tones, which make them stand out against the paler landscape. They are shown in various poses: one looks directly ahead, another sits on a branch, and a third seems to observe from a distance.
The landscape is rendered in warm golden-brown hues characteristic of the savanna. Trees with sprawling crowns form a natural arch framing the central figure. The sky is painted in soft pastel tones, which soften the overall scene and add lyricism. Moskaleva uses generalized forms and color patches to create a sense of space and depth.
Moskaleva’s painting technique is distinguished by painterly freedom and the use of local yet harmonious colors. The painting conveys not so much an exact geographical location as a general, warm impression of the African landscape, where everyday life is inseparably connected with the world of wild animals.
The title «The familiar path» emphasizes the cyclicality and established order of things: the woman walks her usual way, and the animals remain in their territory. This painting is about coexistence, about how people and nature share one space while maintaining mutual respect. Irina Moskaleva’s «The familiar path» is a gentle homage to African life, full of warmth, tranquility, and respect for life in all its forms.
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.
