Childhood on the Water (series of 4 color lithographs)

«Childhood on the Water» (series of 4 colour lithographs).

This series of four lithographs celebrates the world of childhood through an intense, luminous palette.

The deep blue of the water, the emerald green of the meadows, the bright red of the ball, the white of the little sailboat and the warm golden tones of the countryside create compositions rich in energy and poetry.

Each sheet depicts a different moment: a girl watches her ball on the water, a boy sails a small boat, a proud cockerel dominates the meadow, and a girl with a young goat moves through the sunlit grass.

Colour does not merely describe reality, but creates atmosphere, movement and depth, transforming these simple episodes into a hymn to joy, summer and the carefree spirit of childhood.

This work was exhibited in «Graphic Art of the Soviet and Post-Soviet Period» and is reproduced in the exhibition catalogue. Germany, 2025.
