Outland 

Konstantin Korobov painted this landscape, 'Outland,' seemingly filled with tranquility, yet something stirs within the depths of this scene. Note the figures, cloaked and wandering, evoking a sense of pilgrimage or exile. This motif of the wanderer appears across cultures, from religious iconography to folklore. Consider Caspar David Friedrich’s ‘Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog,’ where a solitary figure stands atop a mountain, contemplating the sublime. Here, the wanderers are in the forest, which has long symbolized the subconscious. Historically, the image of the wanderer taps into a primal sense of displacement and the search for meaning, echoing ancient myths of quests and self-discovery. This path through the forest becomes a psychological journey, a quest for understanding, resonating with our own subconscious longings and fears. The painting becomes a mirror, reflecting our innermost wanderings through life.
