Easter in the Village 

Margareta Sterian's 'Easter in the Village' captures a scene imbued with symbols of renewal and spiritual awakening. The village church with its dome, a familiar icon in Eastern European iconography, suggests a connection to the divine and the communal spirit. The presence of trees, rendered with a gentle touch, may allude to themes of growth, resurrection, and rebirth. The dome of the church, so similar to those in Byzantine mosaics, echoes across time, linking the village to ancient centers of faith. This architectural form is not merely a structural element; it is a symbol of heaven, a bridge between the earthly and the celestial. This echoes a yearning for the eternal, a longing embedded in our collective memory. The composition itself, with its soft, ethereal quality, invites us into a dreamlike space, where the boundaries between reality and the subconscious blur. Just as in a dream, the village becomes a landscape of the soul. Easter, as a celebration of resurrection, is a potent image that resurfaces throughout history, carrying with it the timeless promise of hope and the cyclical nature of life.
