Crime And Punishment

2013: Acrylic on canvas

Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Crime And Punishment

In this early painting, the narrative elements of the story a quite readable - from the moment Raskolnikov murders the old woman through his confusion and doubt to the hint of redemption of at the end when green spring arrives in Siberia. Yellow tends to indicate the presence of the prostitute Sonya, Raskolnikov's ultimate saviour.
