Original oil painting | 48” x 60” *Disclaimer* - This piece has been slightly adjusted by my cat. There are claw marks on the painting that are visible up close. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. In the deepest shadows of the forest, she watches. This is Baba Yaga. The guardian of the old paths, dwelling in a house with chicken legs. Restless, wise, always moving. In some stories, she devours. In others, she delivers hard earned truth. This painting is both a memory and a reclamation. I first painted her as a child, barefoot in my family’s home, enchanted by the strange magic of her moving house. Soviet cartoons made her funny, spooky, but somehow familiar. I always felt close to her, like we shared something. Now, all grown, I paint her again. Larger than life. Not a villain, not a joke. A guardian of thresholds. A woman transformed. Some say her house is a grave. Others say it’s a temple. All I know is: she was never just a witch. She was a forest spirit. A feminine force. A mother of endings and beginnings. “Избушка, избушка, встань ко мне передом, к лесу задом.” (Little hut, little hut, turn your front to me, your back to the forest.) As she sweeps her tracks, I hope she can sweep you off your feet.
