Windows 20, 2020

Windows 20 is a mystical and multi-layered piece of art by Lyudmila Baronina. The title refers to the new version of the operating system from the famous software company. You can recognize the famous brand in the windows. The new version of Windows was released at the very peak of the COVID quarantine, which is also reflected in the painting. A lonely man in the dark room is surrounded by fears and chimeras. A ghost, giant dragonflies in gas masks, and the shadow of an ominous tree invade the room. The image is complete with a signature anatomical figure, with removed skin hanging on the mirror. The painting is full of small details, such as a man from a medieval illustration of Avicenna's book bottled and held by the skinned figure.
