About the Item
The edges are painted
The image of a woman frozen in time appears on the canvas. She stands like a pictorial icon or a marble sculpture, detached from the mundane.
Her expression does not reveal the mystery hidden in the depths of her soul. Frozen in her own serenity, she appears unshakable, impervious, and lifeless. However, the halo surrounding the figure resembles a stained glass window, revealing the duality of the image and telling of the fragility of her emotions. It underscores that vulnerability, pain, and sensitivity can lurk under of feigned strength and control.
The "Melancholy" series of paintings reveals the inner world of a person lost in his own emotions. When inner reflection takes precedence over life itself we strive to uncover our essence and understand who we truly are.
This collection delves deep into reflections on self-discovery and one's nature. The paintings are imbued with sadness and quiet serenity, while the blue and purple color palette emphasizes the magical and unreal quality of the scenes depicted.
The symbolism of horses in the paintings embodies inner forces that can be either wild and untamed or tamed and controlled. It reflects the struggle with inner conflict and ambiguity.
The artist hopes that viewers will reflect on their feelings and inner contradictions while contemplating these paintings. Whether they fear sorrow or, on the contrary, seek constant joy without understanding the potential for growth hidden in melancholy.
The purpose of this series is to encourage inner exploration and answer the question of whether melancholy is a problem or a path to emotional growth. The artist believes that the heart of melancholy may be a key to a deeper understanding of oneself and one's emotional landscape.
