Original artwork description:

In the painting, done in oil on canvas, we see two girls, likely sisters, dressed in harmoniously contrasting gowns, sitting against a mosaic of pastoral fields cultivated by man. In their hands are peculiar plants resembling ghosts — these are weeds, symbolizing the relentless force of nature that humanity attempts to subdue and control. The work's uniqueness lies in the hyperrealistic depiction of the faces and plant details, creating a contrast with the simplified stylization of the background, which may refer to the theme of the relationship between man and nature, as well as to the perpetual struggle between the cultural and wild aspects of the world.

Materials used:

oil paints, linseed oil, brushes, varnish
