This original work «How Ivan Caught the Firebird» was created by contemporary Russian artist Maria Melkova and is available for purchase online.
The painting "How Ivan Caught the Firebird" is done in the style of naive art and executed in oil on canvas. Inspired by P. Ershov's fairy tale «The Little Humpbacked Horse», this original piece vividly illustrates the famous episode: Ivan, a folk hero of Russian tales, caught the glowing firebird by the tail in a magical garden where paradise apples grow on one side and whimsical grapes on the other.
Next to Ivan stands the little humpbacked horse — a faithful companion and symbol of magic in Russian folklore. The painting is created with thick impasto strokes, rich in bright colors, making it an example of dopamine painting — art that evokes positive emotions and a sense of happiness.
The expressive presentation, vivid forms, and unexpected details attract attention and fill the space with energy. This fairy tale scene will become a striking accent in a modern or eclectic interior, decorate a child's room or creative space, and can also be a unique gift for admirers of Russian art and collectors.
