Clearly inspired by the winter scenes depicted by the Northern Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, with its wintery trees and sprawling town, Elen Bezhen develops her painting "Above the City" into a scene showing the deep connections between humans and nature. A female figure stands precariously on a tree branch, reaching out towards the birds that seem to be attracted to her. Despite the cold of winter, this scene is alive in a playful, innocent way.
