Scythian Frida (2025)

This artwork was born from an inspiring journey into history, strength, and the spirit of womanhood, drawing deep influence from Scythian heritage and jewelry. At the center of the canvas stands a woman carrying the legacy of generations. She is a Scythian Goddess—a guardian of lineage and tradition whose strength inspires those around her and shields them from harm. She wears a wealth of jewelry that transcends mere decoration; these are sacred amulets, vessels of protection, and symbols of the inner power that connects her to her roots.
