EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - a child peacefully nestled in a birch bark cradle, surrounded by the natural beauty of Siberia. The year is 1920, and the Selkups are depicted with such tenderness and care by artist A. G. Vargin.
The intricate details of the birch bark cradle, lovingly crafted to protect and nurture the infant, speak volumes about the traditional child-rearing practices of this indigenous community. The soft colors of watercolor and gouache bring warmth to the scene, highlighting the innocence and vulnerability of childhood.
As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to a simpler time when nature played an integral role in everyday life. The trees towering above provide a sense of protection and connection to the land that sustains these native peoples.
Through artistry and skillful observation, Vargin has captured not just a moment but an entire way of life - one that is deeply rooted in tradition yet ever-evolving as cultures intersect on the meeting grounds of frontiers.
This image serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and interconnectedness with nature. It invites us to reflect on how we care for our children and preserve our heritage for future generations.
