In this modern and contemporary composition, Vladimir Horik offers a personal interpretation of the rural Quebec landscape during the cold season. The artwork captures the quiet atmosphere of a village blanketed in snow—a classic theme in Canadian iconography that the artist adapts through his distinct graphic style. Using acrylic on panel, Horik structures the space by playing with light contrasts, housing volumes, and winter chromatic nuances, delivering a view of the local winter that is both structured and lively.
