DESCRIPTION

This oil painting captures a beloved tradition through an unexpected lens - a stack of golden pancakes set against vibrant graphic patterns. Titled "Maslenitsa. Gravity," the work references the traditional Slavic spring festival.

Each pancake shows countless tiny bubbles and holes that catch the light, creating a lace-like effect. The pancakes rest in their natural stack with slightly curled edges and a surface glistening with characteristic texture that resembles the Moon's surface, all held by gravity.
The background creates dramatic contrast through geometric patterns - checkered fabric on one side, polka dots on the other, all framed by bright orange and green ribbons that extend the tablecloth's pattern, transforming flat geometry into three-dimensional form and adding dynamic energy to the composition. This play between the organic, handmade quality of the pancakes and the strict geometry of the patterns creates visual tension.

The concept of gravity here extends beyond physics - it becomes a metaphor for how traditions hold us, how cultural memory pulls us toward ancestral rituals. The pancakes hang suspended between past and present, between homely comfort and the graphic modernity of the background. Gravity represents the force of tradition that keeps us connected to our roots, even as everything around us changes.

The painting honors both cultural tradition and the everyday beauty of homemade food, turning a simple stack of pancakes into a meditation on texture, light, and the forces that shape our daily rituals.
