This original work «A smile for Alice 3» was created by the contemporary Russian artist Vasily Prilepa and is available for purchase online.
Vasily Prilepa's painting «A smile for Alice 3» is a continuation of an artistic dialogue with Carroll's world, executed in a deep, almost monochromatic green palette. The artist creates a mystical, symbolic image where nature and fantasy merge into a single whole, inviting the viewer to look into the subconscious.
At the top of the composition, a stylized motif dominates, simultaneously reminiscent of a flower, an eye, and a magical artifact. At the center of this structure is a glowing white-blue element resembling a blooming bud or crystal emitting inner light. This «flower» is surrounded by dark fan-shaped stripes that create the effect of radiance or an aura around the central object. The entire upper half of the painting is decorated with a geometric pattern of interlacing triangles in various shades of green, giving the background depth and expressiveness.
Below, at the level of a table or horizon, we see an inscription made with light rounded letters: «АЛИСА». This is a direct reference to the theme of the work and possibly to the viewer, who, like Alice, peers into this green magical world. The lower part, where the inscription is located, is flatter and darker, serving as a kind of pedestal for the fantastic visions.
The overall color scheme of the painting is kept in various shades of green — from emerald to yellow-green and olive. Green is traditionally associated with nature, mystery, growth, and in the context of fairy tales — with madness or irrationality.
Vasily Prilepa uses an expressive, textured painting style. Brushstrokes are visible, creating a sense of movement and some unevenness of the surface, which enhances the surreal effect.
«A smile for Alice 3» is a work exploring themes of the subconscious, visions, and hidden magic. It offers not a literal reading of the plot but an immersion into the emotional state that arises when encountering something irrational and beautiful. The painting is open to interpretation, inviting each viewer to find their own «smile» in the depths of the green world.
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.
