Acrylic, neon light, history, and satire meet in Inga Makarova’s remarkable artwork Belka & Strelka. This 140x140 cm canvas presents a striking reimagining of the legendary space dogs that became Cold War icons. The textured background, filled with layered Cyrillic inscriptions, evokes Soviet-era space slogans, while the bright orange spacesuits and luminous neon helmets breathe energy and irony into the scene.

By merging traditional painting with glowing elements, Makarova constructs a unique visual dialogue – one that speaks to the politics of representation, propaganda, and heroism. The two dogs, their faces rendered with depth and personality, are no longer symbols of a regime but individuals imbued with silent dignity and curiosity.

This artwork is part of Makarova’s broader exploration of memory and cultural identity, and it exemplifies her innovative approach to mixed media. Perfectly suited for collectors who value political art with a pop sensibility, Belka & Strelka brings both conceptual weight and aesthetic brilliance to any contemporary art collection.
