Kavkaz No. 31

A bold and vivid oil painting by Ukrainian artist Oleg Tistol, *Kavkaz No. 31* continues his exploration of post-Soviet identity and cultural mythology through striking imagery and a graphic, almost poster-like aesthetic. The work draws on the visual language of Soviet-era travel iconography and propaganda, reinterpreting the romanticized symbolism of the Caucasus region with a sharp, contemporary sensibility. Tistol's confident brushwork and saturated palette give the piece a dynamic tension between nostalgia and critical reflection.
