The artwork titled “Departure of the Winged Ship” is a creation by the artist Vladimir Kush.
In the artwork, a wooden sailing ship is depicted embarking on a journey across a sea, but with an extraordinary twist: its sails are replaced by colorful, oversized butterfly wings. The sky is a brilliant blue, adorned with soft white clouds that seem to form whimsical shapes. The water is depicted in an emerald green shade, giving an almost surreal quality to the scene. On the left side of the artwork, a giant butterfly can be seen resting on the ship’s deck. On the rocky shore, figures are gesturing towards the ship with flags, possibly bidding it farewell. The composition and fantastical elements combine to create a dreamlike, imaginative scene that elevates the conventional imagery of a seafaring ship into the realm of the surreal.
