In Anticipation of a Miracle, 2014
Acrylic painting on canvas, golden rise paper, metal details (39’x32’)

No matter the age or the social status, all people believe in miracles, in luck, or in the Fortune's favour. This belief intensifies in the eve of Winter Holidays. The long-awaited miracle may storm into our lives, or maybe just faintly tap the doors, but deep inside all of us hope and wish for just a little bit of magic. Whatever it may be: love, health, winning a lottery, a birth of a child – what's important is that your most sacred wishes come true. This painting inspires golden dreams during winter frosts. The warm lustre of the lotus petals, shimmering as if they were minted out of precious metals, comforts the soul. The sky-blue background with peppy navy strokes and whimsical ringlets scattered all over the canvas, hint on all the quirky ways the miracles might come to us. But wishes will most certainly come true if you tune into this painting, feel the festive anticipation in the air, and use the inspiration of the golden lotus petals to spark hope in your heart.
