Digital painting
This artwork intimately tells the story of my roots. At the center of the image stand my grandparents and a sheep, evoking everyday life and traditions connected to food and domestic culture. They are depicted in a vivid, vibrant red, a color that conveys warmth, blood ties, and the energy of the morning.
Behind them, resting against a light blue background, lies the heart of the piece: an old sheet of paper, both typed and handwritten, containing stories that my grandfather wrote in his native language, Buriat; those words were translated by hand by his partner, my grandmother.
