About the Item
Evgeniy Monahov still like to work on the edge between sketch and finished painting - when artist are not playing by the rules of one particular style, he has much more freedom in the image creation.
Evgeniy began to work with Polina who was a model for this painting at a turning point in her life, when she was going to drastically change everything and leave in the past a boring job, a city and toxic abusive relationship.. to strive for something greater, for something realy beautiful. And this painting turned out as the result of their endless conversations about the freedom of a woman, about those chains that she dreams to throw off herself to take a deep breathe, about what scares her and what inspires her.. and about freedom, imaginary and real, in painting and in life.
