Ukrainian Larisa Prisyazhnyuk from Crimea painted this before the initial Russian invasion in 2014. She is still in Crimea but unable to communicate with the outside world and her social media taken down. Being a Ukrainian at heart, but torn between that and her Soviet upbringing, her courageous life is precarious but her loving nature was enduring with the last communication. This acrylic painting illustrates the spirit of the nation’s past folk art, depicting an Angel hovering over the church with the innocence of a child reflected in its face. In many ways the paintings’ Naïve, Modernist Primitivism perspective is reflective of the Generation X Ukrainian. This acrylic painting on the poster board measures 17 x 19 cm. Or 7 x 7.25 inches. Larisa signed/dated & titled this twice. On 1, a thick paper sheet she sandwiched between backing and the artwork she wrote in Cyrillic “A Memory”. On the backing cardboard for the framing done after the 2014 incursion, she again signed and dated it for the public, titling the piece in Latin letters “Angel”, or as I want to say, “Just Wonderful”. A Hobby Lobby frame suiting it will look much nicer for just a couple of bucks. Included are the two 2 signature backings and picture. Note: I believe this is 100% Acrylic although it may have some standard paint as well. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”. The seller is “igetmymail” and is located in this country: US.
