The Story Behind the Painting

'Shelter in the blizzard' is not just a painting; it is a story that transports you to the Russian tundra and brings the legend of Varenka to life. Varenka was an elderly woman who refused to flee the war and instead offered shelter to anyone who sought her help. Her cottage became a refuge for those in need of food, warmth, and protection. As the war drew ever closer, Varenka and her guests prayed to God for protection. Then, miraculously, God made it snow, concealing the cottage from the outside threat. This abstract painting symbolises that safe haven: a place where you can take shelter and be yourself. The soft greens, blues and whites create a serene atmosphere exuding tranquillity and peace. Could 'Shelter in the Blizzard' bring a sense of calm and security to your home too? Let yourself be embraced by the beauty and meaning of this work of art, and make it a part of your life.
