The painting titled 'Sorcerer' vividly captures a mythological figure inspired by Slavic werewolf lore, showcasing a human-shapeshifter in mid-transformation. Executed in gouache on cardboard, the artwork combines smooth, dreamy pastel hues with elegant lines characteristic of Art nouveau (modern) style. The portrait-like composition emphasizes the sorcerer’s mysterious, intelligent gaze, while the surreal atmosphere invites viewers into a realm where magic and myth intertwine.
