One of a kind artwork

One night I could not sleep.
⠀ I lay leafing through some article about the most famous photographs in the world
and then I came across a black and white photo, where some African tribe grazing cows.
⠀ The composition photo was built beautifully , my eyes were happy.

After a few days, I noticed that I periodically remember this photo and think about it.
⠀ Who are these people?
⠀ What kind of terrain?
⠀ Who is the photographer?

As a result, this photo did not get out of my head for two weeks.
⠀ And I went to google.
It turned out that the photo was taken by the famous Brazilian photojournalist Sebastian Salgado, I spent the whole evening reading about him.

After that, I decided that I would paint a picture based on photographs by Sebastian Salgado.

The people in the painting are from the Dinka tribe, living in South Sudan.
The whole life of this tribe revolves around cattle breeding. Buffaloes are all they have.
Dink's people grow up near their buffaloes and live in perfect harmony with them. Buffaloes provide their owners with everything they need to live.

And this is a completely different world!
Dinka live without TV, Internet and all those benefits of civilization to which we are so accustomed. Most adhere to ancient traditions, including ancestor cults and the forces of nature.
They have a completely different life. It seems to exist in parallel with ours, almost without intersecting with it.
And it is so exciting!
This is a different reality where people live in harmony with nature.

While I was painting Dink's people,
even my state was somehow different - more calm, balanced. It was as if I myself were a little closer to nature.

This painting can be a great addition to the interior, as well as its accent.

The artwork is signed on the back and also comes with a certificate of authenticity

The artist explores in her painting the individuality and personality of an individual person, but at the same time wants to show how much we all experience similar feelings and difficulties in life.
