The Prophetic Howl

[saraphimshpatar]

By: Andrey Klimenko

I had a bit of trouble identifying the subject of this piece: everything I could find online regarding this specific painting tells me its title is "Svarog", the Slavic god of creation, primordial fire, blacksmithing, and spirits. It think this is incorrect, as it's not actual sources coming from the artist himself. I believe it's Ded Moroz, aka Father Frost, based on his magic staff, appearance, and the winter surroundings— but I could be completely wrong and would like help from someone more knowledgeable to correct me. That being said, wow, what a beautiful painting.

“Baba Yaga” by Andrey Klimenko.

Baba Yaga is a supernatural being (or one of a trio of sisters of the same name) who appears as a deformed and/or ferocious-looking witch. Baba Yaga flies around in a mortar, wields a pestle, and dwells deep in the forest in a hut usually described as standing on chicken legs (or sometimes a single chicken leg). Baba Yaga may help or hinder those that encounter or seek her out.
