Jis ir ji (he and she)

The work depicts two pigeons, her and him, which symbolize friendship and union. Based on a small format (10cm x 10cm) graphic stamp, this mural has been enriched by the elements of etching: rough outline, random lines and blotches. The background reminds of wallpaper ornaments and thus highlights the spirit of home comfort, while the colours selected for this work go together with the characteristic Tsarist Russian colouring of adjacent buildings. An interesting fact: one hundred years ago, at the beginning of the 20th century, there was a station of war pigeons next to this place, with birds delivering information in three different directions.
