As a painter, Nikolai Kormašov is guided by very specific basic values in life: love, caring, family, home, traditions, and faith. In this painting, a sunset in a private farmyard is an important moment, making the colours pop. While the sky in the background and the forest seem, on the contrary, dark and cloudy. Such a weather phenomenon is a real possibility. The artist’s background has been one of systematically collecting and rescuing icon art from destruction, and in this way icon art has influenced his own life and attitude towards painting.
