Description of the Work

Powerful depiction of a nomadic Balkan tradition.

The author uses rugged brushstrokes and earthy colors to depict figures and animals.

The work exudes a primal, almost brutal force, emphasizing the harshness of itinerant life and the ancestral bond between man and wild animal.
