The painting was exhibited at the gallery “Here” on Taganka (Moscow).
Night, when Moscow becomes a fairy tale.
Snow falls slowly, almost silently, and each snowflake is like a little star fallen straight to the ground. St. Basil’s Cathedral stands in the middle of this silence, as if grown out of a dream: its domes softly glow green, blue, pink, and the walls — with a warm crimson light, as if a magic fire burns inside.
The dark blue sky is strewn with thousands of white dots — snow, stars, the breath of winter. Below — light silhouettes of people walking across the snowy square, and streetlamps scattering soft yellow spots of light. Everything around is wrapped in thin dark lines, like lace or traces of wind — they make the space alive, almost breathing.
This work is about that special Moscow winter when cold stops being cold and becomes magic. When you want to stop, lift your face to the sky, and simply breathe this beauty. The painting seems to invite you inside — into silence, into light, into the childish joy of the first snow.
