Vottovaara is a highland in Karelia, with which many legends are associated. This place is sometimes called "Russian Stonehenge" and some people believe that this place is a bridge to another world. Curved trees, seydes scattered on a rocky plateau or standing on the edge of cliffs, stairs that go into the sky - all this was breathtaking. This is one of the most vivid impressions that were left from my trip to Karelia. On my return, I wanted to capture it in oils.
