BYLINY

My interpretation of East European Bylinas and fairy tales characters.
Inspired by book - "Byliny. Retelling by Alexander Nechaev, Artist: Pertsov Vladimir"

*Bylina is an Old Slavic oral epic poem. Byliny narratives are loosely based on historical fact, but greatly embellished with fantasy or hyperbole.
