Raven is an original watercolor 7’x5’ painting on paper by Luba Kholov.
Painted with layered washes of inky blues, muted purples, and velvety blacks, this piece captures the raven’s alert posture and watchful eye—perched atop a city stone like a silent observer of human life.
The expressive brushwork and subtle splatters evoke motion, texture, and mood, while the minimal white background allows the raven’s presence to dominate the space with both elegance and quiet intensity.
In folklore, ravens symbolize wisdom, transformation, and resilience—qualities that resonate deeply in today’s world.
