About the Item
In this work, Igor Volkov-Tkachinskiy reimagines the figure of Shiva — the Hindu god of destruction and creation — through the lens of his own experiences and fascination with Eastern culture and martial arts. The self-portrait serves as a symbolic reflection on the idea that every individual carries a spark of the divine creator within.
The artist’s figure emerges in a dynamic contrast of light and shadow, emphasizing inner conflict and harmony. Symbolic attributes and multiple arms, characteristic of Shiva’s iconography, intertwine with contemporary elements, creating a multilayered composition.
The color palette, dominated by deep blues, vibrant reds, and green hues, captures the energy and spiritual power of the figure. Bold, expressive brushstrokes, typical of the artist’s style, convey movement and color vibration, embodying the rhythm of a martial dance.
This self-portrait is not merely an image of the artist but a universal metaphor of creative power inherent in each of us. It calls for self-discovery and serves as a reminder of our ability to transform chaos into harmony and weakness into strength.
