About this artwork+
This painting called "Frozen Stones" by Alexander Mikhaylov shows a cluster of colorful rocks. They’re half-covered in snow. Behind them, there’s a frozen lake that stretches to the horizon. The sky above is a mix of pale blues and whites, suggesting a cold, clear day. Mikhaylov uses thick, visible strokes of paint. The technique gives texture and a raw, energetic feel to the scene. Colors are vibrant against the white snow, making the rocks seem even more prominent. This style enhances the natural roughness and chill of a winter landscape. Mikhaylov has captured a moment of stillness and wild beauty.
