Description

This painting depicts Saint Nicholas in a folk-art style, created with acrylic paints. The work is full of vibrant colors typical of folk art, with predominant shades of red, gold, and blue that add warmth and solemnity to the figure.

Saint Nicholas is portrayed in traditional attire adorned with ornate patterns that emphasize national character and decorative flair. His face is gentle, with soft, kind features that exude wisdom and blessing. A halo, often decorated with folk motifs, surrounds his head, symbolizing holiness and highlighting his role as a protector and benefactor.

The folk style is also evident in the decorative details: stylized flowers, geometric patterns, and symbols surrounding Saint Nicholas, which create a framing effect and give the composition a sense of completeness. The acrylic paints lend brightness and richness to the image, making the figure of Saint Nicholas appear lively and festive, capturing the essence of Ukrainian sacred art traditions.
