Christmas card, from the seires 'Pathetic Engeliade' 1988

This painting, "Christmas Card" from Oleg Holosiy’s series "Pathetic Engeliade," features two angelic figures with outstretched wings against a dark, starry background. Painted in 1988, the piece reflects the artist's characteristic use of expressive brushstrokes and a muted palette, conveying a sense of both celestial wonder and somber melancholy. Holosiy's work often explored themes of spirituality and mortality, and this particular painting, with its emphasis on the angelic figures and scattered crosses, appears to grapple with these complex concepts in a deeply personal way.
