Troshinsky’s work for the Belendis & Vertecchia compilation reimagines Russian folklore through a lens of intricate botanical art and bold color. Using gouache on paper, the artist builds a rich, opaque texture that gives the underwater realm a sense of physical weight and presence. The composition balances the organic beauty of plant life with sharp, geometric shape fusion, creating a scene where the mythical and the natural world are inextricably linked.

The narrative layers within the piece invite a deep dive into the exotic coastal flora and the diverse bird species that populate the edges of the Tsar's domain. By blending traditional folk motifs with a structured, almost symphonic minimalism, Troshinsky avoids sentimentality in favor of a vivid, complex atmosphere. Every brushstroke serves the story, turning a classic children's tale into a sophisticated exploration of shared human experience and the mysteries of the sea.
