The Year of Dostoevsky

The Year of Dostoevsky" the painting is named after a significant date for our Siberian city. Anniversary of the death of M.F. Dostoevsky.
In this work, I wanted to convey the severity of hard labor in the Omsk prison. Hard work and the oppressive emotional pain of incarceration. Terrible living conditions, hunger and deprivation of many simple joys of life. This is a terrible time and very gray, joyless.
The composition of the work has the shape of a cross, fatigue and despair are visible in the image of the figure, and there is still a long way ahead.
The work was exhibited at the regional exhibition The Year of Dostoevsky and added to a large catalog of works dedicated to this date.
