This original work, «Baba Yaga», was created by contemporary Russian artist Maria Melkova and is available for purchase online.
The painting has been exhibited in museums and galleries of the Siberian Federal District.
The painting "Baba Yaga" is a modern reinterpretation of the classic figure from Russian fairy tales, familiar to everyone since childhood. At the center of the scene is Baba Yaga, confidently walking through a mysterious forest. She is gathering fly agarics — a symbol of magical knowledge and connection with nature. The forest is depicted as enigmatic, filled with shadows and light, immediately capturing attention and creating an atmosphere of anticipation.
Around Baba Yaga are many forest animals and birds. They all reach out to her as to an old acquaintance, emphasizing her unity with the forest and her role as the guardian of order. She is not an evil witch, but a wise old woman for whom the forest is a native home, and its inhabitants are friends and helpers.
The painting is done in the style of naive art, which adds a special expressiveness and brightness. Every element of the composition is carefully thought out: from the detailed depiction of the fly agarics to the characteristic facial features of Baba Yaga, making the story vivid and understandable. The work refers to Russian roots, to archetypes that form the foundation of our culture.
This piece will appeal to those who value traditions and seek a connection with the past, as well as to those who want to add a strong, meaningful accent with deep significance to their interior. "Baba Yaga" is not only a tribute to the fairy tale heritage but also a reminder of the importance of wisdom, experience, and harmony with nature.
You can hang this painting on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
