“I’ve been looking for a good subject for a painting
of unusual size for a long time. It is not so common in
the classical art world to crop the subject of a
painting, but in a long, horizontal piece, one can. I
see it as a new vision of composition. Paintings of
wolves in landscapes are nice, but they have already
been seen so many times. I wanted to concentrate on
the spirit of the arctic wolf and feel myself a part of
the pack, discussing a strategy for our next hunt.
Having fantasies such as these helps to create more
uncommon paintings.
Although quite limited in the painting, the background
is very important in this scene. It is typical tundra
scenery, and it must tell the viewer about the habitat
of these magnificent white creatures.”
