Original artwork description:

The painting "Footprints of Alice" is a visual diary of the heroine’s inner world, where reality and fantasy merge into one. In the foreground stands Alice — a girl with a piercing gaze and delicate facial features. Her eyes are full of contemplation and a quiet sadness, as if she’s observing everything both from within and from afar.

The background, a dense weave of houses, staircases, arrows, and words, symbolizes the world she has journeyed through. This is not the classic "Wonderland," but rather a metaphorical city of memories and impressions, leaving footprints on her soul. These very "footprints" are referenced in the title and represented through visual noise, pathways, and directional cues that lead the viewer’s eye deep into the composition.
The word "Alice", painted in bold blue letters, asserts her presence and significance — this is her story, her path, her reflection in the surrounding chaos. Around her are fragments of reality and dreams: abstract shapes, architectural elements, fading silhouettes cut out from memory.

The colors are emotionally intense — warm and cool tones clash and coexist, reflecting Alice’s inner state: her search, her curiosity, her unease, and perhaps her solitude.
Alice here is not just a storybook character, but a symbolic figure — a person wandering through a complex world of emotions, memories, and symbols. The painting invites the viewer to follow these footprints — not only after Alice, but also into themselves.
