Description from the author:
The combination of a sunset, depicted as warm and cozy, and snow, deserted and dead. Suggests the idea of such a seemingly incompatible combination in life of every person. We constantly rush from joy to suffering, from cold to warmth. The shadow of the old man in the boat is each of us, who wants to find a balance between these forces and find happiness and tranquility.
The painting is signed by the author, which confirms its authenticity.
