Impression of the painting.
The watercolor "Old Church" was painted in 2006 in the Czech Republic by Anatoli Gostev Jr. The painting speaks of faith in a country that has lost its religious values. The Czech Republic is known for its numerous ancient castles, as well as its atheistic beliefs. The woman in the painting, with deep faith, searches for a church but finds only old, empty castles or abandoned, closed churches no longer needed. The world of double standards is highlighted by the depiction of two suns.
Symbol of faith.
The woman's symbol of faith is emphasized by the red color of her clothing and the abstract structure behind her, which seems to follow her in search of a place for prayer. A small woman with immense faith in a country of atheism, castles, and abandoned churches.
Value of the Painting:
Watercolor is the most challenging painting technique due to the limited possibilities for corrections. When working with watercolor, the artist must clearly understand the entire concept of the painting in advance, as the application of paint must be precisely calculated on the first attempt. This watercolor is created on high-quality paper by the "Arches" brand. It is one of the most successful and non-trivial watercolors by the heir of the Gostev dynasty, Anatoli Gostev Jr.
Investing in a piece of art that you like is always a winning move. Price growth for the painting: a guaranteed increase in the owner's price by 10% per year.

The softness of the linoleum printing form is a drawback of linocut technique: even with slight pressure from a hand printing press, the linoleum slightly deforms. Therefore, large print runs in linocut are impossible. This drawback defined the limited series of linocuts "Thirteenth Christmas". Each linocut is unique because linoleum, unlike solid wood, is soft and malleable, making each impression unique. Additionally, handmade paper was used for each impression, with each sheet having an individual structure, color, composition, and thickness. Typography ink.
