Created using tempera on wood—a technique rooted in history and tradition—this artwork encapsulates the purity of spiritual harmony between man and his surroundings. The soft earthy tones of muted golds, greens, and browns complement the subject: a gentle angel hovering near a quaint house, symbolizing simplicity and peace.
Shibniov's background as the fourth generation in a family of artists is evident in the craftsmanship and storytelling of this work. Drawing from his Belarusian heritage, he transforms ordinary scenes into timeless, meditative compositions. The painting's small size (29 x 26 cm) makes it ideal for intimate settings such as bedrooms, meditation spaces, or reading nooks. Its calming vibe enriches these environments, promoting reflection and tranquility.
With its naïve yet intricate style, "Angel and a House" speaks to the soul, evoking feelings of peace and wonder. Shibniov's masterful use of tempera with natural pigments ensures a timeless quality, making this artwork not just a piece to admire but a treasure to cherish.
