Original artwork description:

“Dove of peace with wheat ear“ - acrylic, sanguine, paper ,29x29cm.
After the Flood, Noah released different birds several times to no avail, until the third time he was successful - he released a dove, which returned with an olive branch in its beak, proving that dry land was exposed somewhere and it was already possible to land (Genesis, 8: 10-11 ). Thanks to this episode, in European culture, the dove became a symbol of good news and peace, an attribute of peace.
I drew a dove of peace with a wheat ear, because I believe that the war in Ukraine will soon pass and our fields will be sown with wheat again. Against the background, Ukrainian ornaments from ancient folk carpets symbolize the earth from which plant life appears.

Materials used:

Acrylic, sanguine
