Sofia 1958

"Sofia" is a 1958 watercolor painting by Ukrainian artist Yuriy Khymych (1928-2003). The painting depicts a scene of a church, with a tall bell tower, standing behind a row of bare trees. The artist’s soft, light brushstrokes create a sense of quiet serenity, which is further enhanced by the muted tones and overall atmospheric feel. The tall bell tower, prominently featured in the composition, is the focal point of the painting, and its golden dome adds a touch of warmth and color to the otherwise subdued scene.
