Zalkar Toktogulov - Winter Tale

In this work, I wanted to convey a feeling of quiet, warm wonder that comes in winter, when the world seems to pause and the light within becomes especially noticeable. At the center of the composition is a glass globe holding a small world inside it: a snow-covered house, the soft glow of its windows, and two evergreen trees dusted with fresh snow. I intentionally surrounded the globe with deep, velvety darkness to create the sense that all the magic is concentrated within. The light from the house reflects off the glass, turning into shimmering stars and golden flashes — as if a tiny universe is unfolding inside the globe. On the wooden surface nearby, a few red berries lie scattered — a simple touch that connects the imaginary world inside the globe with the reality outside. They add warmth and emphasize the fragility of the moment. “Winter Tale” is a story of quiet solitude, of warmth amid the cold, and of how sometimes the smallest worlds can hold the greatest wonders.
