In Highest Heights (2023) Original Acrylic Painting by Margarita Stepanova

Set against a lively backdrop of pink stripes, a dozen hands emerge, their palms directed outward in an unflinching stare that invites the viewer into this captivating world. Intertwining in stark black and white, these hands form a circular embrace that symbolizes solidarity, fortitude, and the enduring bonds of human connection.

Despite lacking color, the hands emit an intensity that surpasses the limitations of mere pigmentation. Their sleek, glossy surfaces and delicate movements allude to the incredible power and resilience of the human spirit, capable of reaching great heights even in the face of adversity and uncertainty.

The repetitive rhythm of hands, reminiscent of a collective heartbeat, evokes a sense of belonging and shared purpose. They serve as a testament to the interdependence of humanity, where individual struggles intersect to form a fabric of strength and perseverance.

The canvas has 12 cm (4-5") painted borders, making it easy to stretch.
It will be shipped rolled in a protective tube (not stretched).
Once stretched, it can be displayed either with a frame or without.
For convenience, I recommend having it stretched at a local framing shop.
