Sherpas (2022) Peinture par Bogdan Shiptenko

- I paint with watercolors on cotton paper and so that it does not require additional framing, I stretched it on a stretcher.

Since the topic of my stories is people and their activities, I would like to touch on the topic of the Nepalese people, who are called Sherpas. Sherpas are widely known for their mountaineering abilities and good knowledge of their highlands. They are of great help, especially for expeditions to Chomolungma, Everest. It is with the help of the Sherpas that people who dream of conquering Everest get there. For little money, these people are forced to carry burdens in the form of a mountain of things that are necessary for expeditions and to conquer the summit of Everest. Already, Sherpas are highly regarded in the international community of mountaineers and rock climbers for their endurance, qualifications, and experience in mountain hiking and climbing at very high altitudes.

For an ordinary person who wants to conquer Everest, climbing high mountain peaks adversely affects their health, since, in such places the air is rarefied, and the blood is less saturated with oxygen. Because of this, unadapted people who get there often feel weakness, malaise, and other symptoms of the so-called mountain sickness. Sherpas are much less likely to face these difficulties, as they are adapted to the conditions of high mountains.

In my watercolor works, I show how important and important the work of the Sherpas is in any of the high-altitude expeditions, their endurance, and physical strength an integral elements of climbing the Mountain. Vryatli people, so often conquered Everest without the help of the brave Nepalese. In my work, this can be seen through the movements of the figures that I draw, showing situations when Sherpas rescue falling or ailing people who have been broken by altitude sickness. I show Sherpas who agree to work for a penny: "Porter" and drag a huge inventory necessary for a person to climb, the weight of which exceeds his own body. In other words, these are the “Heroes in the Shadows”, who have conquered Everest more than once and for whom it has become something ordinary, what feeds them, and how they earn a living. This is a dangerous profession, which I think many people underestimate.

- There is a patch on the back of the painting, it is carefully glued and aged under pressure, taking into account professional requirements.
