Footfalls of the Sky 2020

Jana Brike's 2020 painting "Footfalls of the Sky" depicts two women in white dresses, walking amidst a field of flowers against a dramatic celestial backdrop. The women appear to be walking towards a celestial event, possibly a supernova or a comet. The painting's surreal imagery suggests a connection between the natural and the cosmic, and the women's joyous expressions evoke a sense of wonder and awe. Brike’s work is often characterized by a whimsical and dreamlike quality. The painting’s focus on female figures, nature, and celestial events invites viewers to contemplate themes of life, death, and the mysteries of the universe.
