"Beyond the seas there are the great lands (Daughter of viking)" is a striking mythological painting that captures the legendary seafaring spirit of the early East Slavic tribes and Norse explorers. Created with tempera on cardboard, the artwork exudes a dreamlike, surreal quality reminiscent of surrealism. Its flowing lines and stylized figures suggest an Art nouveau (modern) influence, blending historical motifs with mythic symbolism. The painting evokes the legendary origins of Kievan Rus', emphasizing the explorers’ journey beyond known lands into the mythic, uncharted territories that echo the legendary past of the early East Slavs and Vikings.
