The author of the painting is the painter Jozef Fečo. The painting is a part of the 11-pieces collection of pictures covering the events of the Romani Holocaust. The author found the inspiration in the literary work of Elena Lacková, specifically in her novel The Dead Never Return. The collection was created with support of the stipend provided by the Fund for Minorities’ Culture Development SR.
The author adds the description of the painting by the quoting the novel:
“Where to go? Lajko came to a decision: they must run so that they wouldn’t be caught right there. They started crossing the field, all the while keenly searching their surroundings. They ran to the tiny river. The water splashed calmly over the stones. Morning birdsong rang out from the willows and alders. They even heard a nightingale trilling. Oh, how they envied the little birds their freedom!
They managed to reach the forest, where their huts were visible on the hill."
Jozef Fečo is a graduate of the Secondary Art School in Prešov, majoring in design and artistic wood shaping. He is primarily interested in the facial expressions of human faces, their expressive value and typical personality traits. For the State Science Library in Prešov, he created a series of 23 large-format paintings in 2015 and 2019 called Unknown Colours of Personalities.
