A Summer Night. Ukraine

A powerful and introspective painting confronts the viewer with the paradox of domestic stillness amid external chaos. A woman, with her platinum braid and black attire, sits quietly at a neatly set dinner table. Behind her — a window, through which we see burning homes and curling smoke. Her silence, her posture, even the untouched meal, all echo a deeper psychological stillness that speaks volumes.
The black cat on the table, alert and poised, intensifies the eerie serenity. This piece invites you into a suspended moment — the kind we instinctively understand but rarely name. The story unfolds not with action, but with the intensity of what’s unspoken. Ideal for collectors who appreciate narrative layers, symbolic realism, and thought-provoking imagery.
