Original artwork description:

“Strawberry Hunt” captures the sweetest kind of hunt one can experience in a garden — gathering sun-ripened June strawberries.
The artwork carries a sense of refreshing lightness: tiny droplets of warm summer rain still resting on the berries hint that this rain helped them grow even richer and more vibrant.

One of the painting’s key features is its first-person perspective. It allows the viewer to step directly into the scene — to feel as if they are leaning over the strawberry patch themselves, sensing the fresh aroma of ripe berries and the coolness left after the rain. It invites you to become part of the moment, touching the fruit you patiently nurtured.

“Strawberry Hunt” is a warm reminder of that simple, genuine joy you feel when your work in the garden finally brings results. It reflects the moment of satisfaction when you see ripe berries in your hands — the reward for the care and attention you’ve given the plants.

This artwork belongs to the "VILLAGE" series.
This series feels like a gentle breeze, the sound of crickets on a warm evening, the crowing of roosters at five in the morning.
It's waking up early to work in the garden before the burning sun appears.
It's eating the simplest sandwiches out in the field, yet they taste like the best you've ever had.
It's the cool tea brewed with mint and lemon balm that refreshes you in the summer heat.
It's the joy of seeing swallows faithfully return each year to the little nest they once built.
It's walking through quiet village streets at dusk, without the rush of cars or crowds — just you, nature, and the calm mood of the evening.
This series is special to me — my first one!
It shows simple, real life, away from today's focus on wealth and perfection.
A life where you can relax, connect with nature, and enjoy the little things that truly matter.

Materials used:

charcoal, graphite pencils, white liner, varnish
