Original artwork description:

In this painting, I aimed to capture the delicate balance between impressionism and realism, bringing a winter forest to life with oil. The soft light, quiet snow, and rich textures express both tranquility and vibrancy. I wanted viewers to feel crisp cold air and peaceful stillness, inviting warmth and calm energy to their space, a moment of serene beauty frozen in time.
How pleasant it is to wander through the snowy forest. When the snow-covered branches, as if playing with you, will lull you with snow, and it sparkles in the sun like precious stones. And you remember your childhood, how you sledged down a hill, rolled in the snow, and played snowballs and sculpted a fortress to the point when ice coils appeared on the mittens, and you ran all wet as soon as possible home, bask in the hot stove and listen to grandmother's tales.
