Om and Irtysh

This original oil painting is created on a premium cotton canvas, professionally stretched on a sturdy stretcher (size 90803 cm). The artwork has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the Siberian Federal District, attesting to its artistic value and high professional quality.
The painting symbolically represents two Siberian rivers with contrasting characters. "Om" in Turkic means "quiet"—a calm and gentle river. "Irtysh" translates as "turbulent river" or "rapid water flow." The quiet Om flows into the swift Irtysh, and at their confluence stands the city of Omsk, which has prospered under their watchful presence for over 300 years.
At the center are two fairytale figures symbolizing the rivers, holding hands as a sign of unity, collaboration, and the creative power of nature. They fly over the city on a magic carpet, as if blessing it.
Executed in a naive and expressive art style, the work stands out for its bright color palette (with dominant blue and pink shades), textured brushwork, and original details. It is an author’s painting and a fairytale illustration, reflecting the magic of Russian folklore and a unique perspective on nature.
