Don't Make a pitfall for Anyone 1991

"Don't Make a Pitfall for Anyone", a 1991 painting by Aleksandr Borodin, showcases a surreal landscape filled with symbolic imagery. A clown, dressed in a harlequin costume, digs a hole in the sand with a shovel while a figure in white stands on a mound, seemingly oblivious to the danger. The scene is populated with ladders, chairs, a giant hand, and a question mark, alluding to the uncertainties and potential pitfalls of life. The painting is characterized by its rich colors, detailed figures, and dreamlike atmosphere, inviting viewers to ponder the themes of innocence, deception, and the fragility of existence.
