Old Shepherd
, 2024"Old Shepherd" by Olga Kataeva-Rochford is a 120x60 cm tempera on canvas that beautifully blends surrealism with expressionism.
The painting depicts an aged shepherd cradling a lamb, surrounded by soft pastel blues and warm yellow tones that evoke a dreamlike serenity. The shepherd figure emerges from a tranquil cloudscape, with subtle hints of a village below, as if symbolizing the connection between the earthly and the spiritual. The carefully rendered textures and ethereal atmosphere create a meditative ambiance, drawing viewers into a reflective journey of peace, care, and nostalgia. This piece, with its soft palette and symbolic composition, is perfect for spaces designed for quiet reflection or meditative thought, such as galleries, studies, or personal meditation spaces.
