Original artwork description:

"Winter" by Zakhar Shevchuk is an artistic tribute to the era of traditional film photography, capturing the solemnity and significance of its ritual. The canvas serves as a vessel for the reawakening of a familial relic, a photograph from Shevchuk's personal history, translated into the language of oils. The painting encapsulates the profound concentration found in the faces of those who sat before the camera when every shot was precious. Shevchuk's approach is both a preservation and transformation, endowing the image with a new narrative through his textural depth and subdued yet expressive color scheme. The artwork invites the viewer to ponder the untold stories behind the eyes of the figure, a testament to Shevchuk's capacity to fuse the emotive with the representational.
