“Before The Storm II”  is the painting with a realistic stork motif on an abstract background. At the same time in the silhouettes of the stork, you can find a symbol. It is the symbol of the upcoming spring and also a symbol of prosperity and wealth.
The stork symbol occurs often in Polish and Slavic folklore.

In Slavic mythology and religion, storks were meant to carry unborn souls from Vyraj to Earth in spring and summer. This belief still persists in the modern folk culture of many Slavic countries, in the simplified way “storks bring children into the world”.

This bird is also very popular in many other European countries. The legend about storks was popularised by a Hans Christian Andersen in his story called The Storks.
