Steppe Girl

The painting “Steppe Girl” (or “Girl With a Bird”) is a work that contains a lot of emotion and symbolism. The female figure on the canvas appears to be floating in the air, with her eyes closed and her body enveloped in an aura of meditation or introspection. Most likely, she is aware of her changing body and the new life growing within her. This is symbolized by the bird, which is located near her body or seems to be encompassed by it. The colorful background contributes to the atmosphere of the painting and enhances the emotions expressed within it. It raises questions about femininity, fertility, and the natural cycle of life.
