When it’s a wildfire, to save and protect your village you have to burn out gras around, so fire doesn’t reach you and stop. This family is observing that process, fascinated and scared.

Lord of the Flies is another painting from Kings and Queens series that Elena Nahum Leroy created in 2022.
This painting represents the war that Putin started on February 24, 2022. Putin’s eyes are hidden with the pig mask, showing that he has no soul. Pig’s head idea is borrowed from Golding’s Lord of the Flies novel and represent innocent deaths caused by savage concepts of sacrifice to imaginary Lord of the Flies that stands for unreasonable fears.

I’m from St.Petersburg, Russia, where winters are gloomy-grey and cold. It can be cloudy for 2 or more months without even a single sunny day. In December, at noon it’s not light yet and at 3 pm it’s dark already. Also, apart from many other big cities, St. Petersburg’s central districts were planned by Italian architects and built as a royal city. A lot of streets have, in fact, two or even 4 rows of buildings, but only the first one is visible from the outside.
Apparently, the first row looked beautiful and rich and was made for wealthy landlords. Then through an arch in a wall, you get to another building, less prestigious than the first row; and through another arch to another one, and so on. The yards of the buildings remind the shape of rectangular wells, and one of those is depicted here.
