Fatherland is painting that evokes a sense of wonder and nostalgia for a land that is well-loved and wonderful – a place of memories, beauty, splendor, and home far away. 

 Fatherland depicts all the wonderful, colorful, and imaginative stories from my ancestral lands. It was crafted in my father's memories of the rolling hills,  animals and streams he grew up around. The colors of the mountains, the warm summer skies, the exotic foliage, and the wonderful fauna – all of these elements were woven together to create a vibrant and captivating scene.

This painting, done in homage to my father, is a metaphorical emobodiment  of man's relationship and dependence on land, sea, and animals. With this painting, I wanted to celebrate  home and marvel at just how wonderful it truly is.
