About the artwork

In the icy silence of a winter evening, shrouded in the wistful glow of the setting sun, an abandoned apartment building rests as a silent witness of days gone by. This digital impressionist painting depicts abandoned Pripyat, once a bustling city, but now overgrown by nature and deserted by its inhabitants.

The apartment building stands as a haunting monument to the Chernobyl tragedy, a reminder of the human ambition that was so suddenly and tragically disrupted. It is surrounded by a layer of snow, which gently descends and covers the landscape with a white blanket of silence. The cold winter air reflects the loneliness and desolation of this once vibrant city.

The sun is slowly sinking behind the horizon, pouring its last rays over the snow-covered buildings. The sky turns warm shades of orange and pink, creating a melancholic atmosphere that further emphasises the desolate landscape. It is a moment of hushed beauty amid the desolation.

This painting invites the viewer to reflect on the transience of human activity and the power of nature to overwhelm and restore everything. It reminds us that even in the most desolate places, beauty can be found, albeit often in a melancholic form.
