About the artwork

The digital artwork "Three Matryoshkas" shows a stylised composition of three Russian matryoshka dolls arranged in decreasing size from left to right. The largest doll is on the left, the middle one in the centre and the smallest on the far right. The dolls are not realistically rendered, but stylised: with simplified shapes, flowing contours and subtle, graphic decoration reminiscent of traditional motifs, but with a modern, minimalist twist.

The background consists of a grid of soft beige tiles that give the impression of a wall - a neutral, calm background that lets the colours and shapes of the matryoshkas speak for themselves. The floor on which the dolls stand consists of small, dark brown tiles with a matt texture. This earthy hue gives a warm, almost nostalgic feel to the whole and contrasts nicely with the light-coloured background.

The composition is harmonious and balanced. Each matryoshka seems carefully positioned, as if they tell a story about heritage, growth or kinship. The difference in size creates a subtle movement from left to right, as if depicting time or generations. Despite the simple shapes, the work exudes character and depth.

The overall atmosphere is serene and contemplative. The artwork invites the viewer to reflect on themes of identity, tradition and change. The digital style, with clean lines and even colour areas, gives the work a timeless and almost symbolic feel. "Three Matryoshkas" is an understated yet powerful image full of meaning.
