monastery

by Max Mitenkov

An exceptional landscape enchanting in its colours, shadows and attention to detail. It depicts a monastery building set high in the mountains and covered in snow. On the steps leading up to it, a small figure can be seen – a pilgrim on his or her journey. Everything is covered by a gentle morning mist and the rising sun casts its golden rays across the view. In the background you can see birds that have just taken flight.

The scenery makes a special impression on the viewers. It is extremely calming and brings in the atmosphere of lazy, cool mornings. The view itself and the workmanship are pleasing to the eye. It has an almost hypnotic effect, as it keeps us looking and exploring for many long minutes.

In his artworks, he expresses his vision of the world through an atmosphere of surrealism. The post-apocalyptic motif recurs more than once in his works, emphasized by the gray color palette, which he also uses frequently. The artist strongly focuses on the mood that emanates from his works. Often it has a vanitative character.
