18:T41b,"Under the Starry Skies" of Africa by Daria Volkova is a captivating watercolor that depicts a symbolic scene of nature's beauty and mystery. Created in 2022, this 38 cm by 28 cm piece features a purple-hued panther cub set amidst a dreamy, blurred background of light blue and violet trees and flowers. The cub gazes intently into the distance, surrounded by an ethereal landscape that appears to shift between plains, rocks, and the silhouette of a mother leopard. This subtle and expertly crafted illusion allows viewers to interpret the image as either a depiction of natural scenery or as a symbol of maternal presence, hinting at the idea that nature itself is the nurturing mother of all creatures. Volkova's watercolor technique enhances the soft, mystical quality of the scene, blending colors to create a surreal atmosphere. This thoughtful piece invites reflection on the interconnectedness of life and the nurturing role of the natural world, making it a striking addition to any collection that appreciates symbolic, nature-inspired art.19:T69d,
