IDEAS: The painting depicts a touching moment: a woman lovingly bathes a baby in a wooden barrel. The warm steam, the modest rural setting, and the mothers caring gaze create a sense of coziness and simplicity. This ordinary scene tells a story of tenderness and family warmth.

Im tired of the overly polished and overcrowded themes at every exhibition. Im craving something simple, Russian, and familiar.
I spent part of my childhood with my grandmother in the countryside. To be honest, sometimes I want to go back to my childhood, search for chicken nests in the hayloft, and pull warm, fresh eggs from under the chicken... I want to drink fresh milk and spend the night with my grandfather...

All of this has happened...
