Tommy Bug, Peace, print,30x40 cm

Peace is a print on paper by artist Tommaso Gabriele, representing a matryoshka doll in an urban-pop style. The matryoshka is the world's best-known symbol of Russian folk art; everyone has seen it at least once. This souvenir carries a deep meaning: a symbol of good omen, fertility, but above all a bond with the family.

The artist offers us cute matryoshkas, with very expressive and sweet features. Peace is a blond doll with big blue eyes, she is dressed in red with pink and orange details that are typical of the clothes of Russian dolls.

Behind her is a sky-blue background; the whole is shaded by undulating, horizontal brushstrokes of yellow ochre that give the subject a strong contrast, but at the same time emanate calmness and tranquillity. The work is signed in pen on the back.
