He posed. I stood there. We both made the paper 🐓📰

From the Community Arts Showcase in the town of Aurora — featuring this bold folk art rooster (acrylic on canvas) that clearly knew how to work the spotlight better than I did 😄🎨

A proud little moment seeing art, color, and creativity celebrated… and somehow ending up in print alongside this very confident bird

Inspired by ancient cathedral reliefs, this double-bodied lion carries a timeless meaning — a guardian of strength, protection, and balance.
In folk art, such unusual forms are not mistakes, but symbols of multiplied power and unity.

My work reimagines this old motif through color, texture, and recycled fabric — bringing a stone guardian back to life in a new form.

Tried to paint a majestic lion… ended up with my black cat demanding creative control 🐈‍⬛🦁🎨

He showed up, struck a pose, and now thinks he’s the king of the savannah (and the house… and my life).
Honestly, same attitude—just with more zoomies and fewer actual hunting skills

In folk symbolism, hybrid beings often protect sacred spaces, and here it watches over the tree as a keeper of transformation, wisdom, and renewal. The mix of acrylic paint and textile elements helps blur the line between painting and object, turning the surface into something more tactile and story-filled.

This section features a mystical bird–dragon, a guardian figure where sky and earth meet. I layered fabric into its ornamentation to give the form a ceremonial, almost talisman-like presence. The textures create depth and movement, making the creature feel both ancient and alive — part bird, part serpent, part spirit.

Rooted in earth, reaching toward myth 🌿

This folk-inspired Tree of Life is painted in acrylic with elements of fabric , where every element carries a story. Beneath the tree, fish swim in the waters of origin while a serpent  near the roots — symbols of life’s cycles, protection, and transformation.Above, majestic griffins stand guard among blooming flowers, and a phoenix rises at the crown, representing renewal, strength, and eternal rebirth.

A piece about connection — between worlds, creatures, and the unseen threads that hold life together.

Using old wooden carvings as a reference, I transformed traditional folk reliefs into a vibrant acrylic painting, enriched with fabric to add texture, depth, and a contemporary voice to ancestral forms.”

A colorful echo of old wooden carvings, where the lion’s strength and the mermaid’s mystery emerge in paint. Ancient Slavic symbols awaken in vibrant patterns, transforming ancestral stories into a living, radiant surface.”

In old Slavic’s tradition hybrid guardian figure uniting land and water: the lion symbolizes strength, power, and protection, while the mermaid-like form represents nature, fertility, and the mysterious forces of water. Together they form a protective, magical emblem meant to guard the home and maintain harmony between human life and the natural world.
