About this piece
Spring Thoughts is an original, one-of-a-kind work by Sergei Troshin, born 1960, based in Canada. It is made with acrylic on canvas and measures 11 × 14 in (27.9 × 35.6 cm). It was completed in 2019. There is only one — nothing here is a print or a reproduction.
Materials and finish
The work is built on canvas. Canvas has a slight give, so a heavy surface stays flexible with it.
Acrylic — Acrylic dries quickly and stays flexible, which lets layers be laid over one another in a single session and scraped back while still workable. Tate’s glossary entry on acrylic paint explains the term in more detail.
Size and scale
The piece measures 11 × 14 in (27.9 × 35.6 cm). It reads as an upright piece, and this is an intimate size — it works on a shelf, in a narrow stretch of wall, or hung as one of a small group rather than alone across a room.
Looking after it
Hang it out of direct sunlight, keep it away from radiators and humidity, and dust it with a dry, soft cloth.
Room conditions matter more than anything else: stable temperature, stable humidity, no direct sun. The American Institute for Conservation publishes plain-language guidance on caring for artwork at home.
