Korodoniye

2024 | Oil on Canvas, Unframed

"Korodoniye" portrays a kind and humble elderly man I had the privilege of meeting, as he crafts shoes from old tiles. With gentle hands and a heart full of warmth, he transforms discarded materials into beautiful, functional creations. His craftsmanship not only reflects his resourcefulness but also his generosity of spirit — a reminder of the beauty that can emerge from both skill and kindness. The painting captures the quiet dignity of Korodoniye, celebrating the art of reimagining the old while honoring the wisdom and kindness of a life well-lived.
