In this painting, I have sought to capture the mesmerising beauty of Cappadocia in winter, blending my own sense of wonder with the grandeur and solemnity of the natural formations. Hot-air balloons floating above the fairy-tale ‘magical chimneys’ create a sense of lightness and freedom, contrasting with the rugged, stony magnificence of the landscape. Feelings of tranquillity and, at the same time, admiration for this ancient land and its heavenly backdrop, revealed from a bird’s-eye view, awaken an interest in the history and mysteries of this wonderful region.
Cappadocia is a unique historical region in Turkey, known for its ‘alien’ volcanic landscapes, ancient underground cities and rock houses where early Christians lived, as well as hot air balloon flights. It is a world-famous tourist destination, offering visitors cave hotels, rock monasteries, and the famous ‘fairy chimneys.’ And, of course, hot air balloon flights at dawn. Cappadocia is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The painting is a participant in the All-Ukrainian exhibition ‘Colours of the Peace’ in March 2026
