"The Good Shepherd" (2026)Oil painting by Lena Vylusk

This painting depicts a gentle and at the same time symbolic scene, full of silence and inner light. In the center of the composition is a black dog with thick, slightly disheveled fur. Its muzzle is directed downward, and in its eyes there is calm wisdom and gentle concentration. The dog's gaze is not predatory or wary - on the contrary, it is full of care, almost paternal care. Four white lambs huddled tightly around it. They raise their muzzles upwards, seeking protection and warmth. The dog here is a symbol of a good shepherd, a guardian, one who protects the weak. Overall, the painting evokes a feeling of peace, trust, and protection. This is not a story about a predator among sheep, but about role reversal - about a force that chooses to be a shield, not a threat. Signed on the back and front of the canvas, the work will be carefully packed in a protective film and thick cardboard.
