Malgaja - Painting by Valeriya Shebelnichenko - 2023

2023

About the Item

Malgaja is a painting created by Ukrainian artist Okno in 2023.  Oil on canvas personally constructed by the artist. Signed by hand. Excellent condition. Malgaja is part of a series of paintings in which the artist worked on the theme of depression. The figure has a mysterious appeal, so turned away from the back without its face being visible. The colors of the body are nicely accentuated by the stark darkness of the background, which looks like an undefined space, giving the viewer the idea of having cornered this figure, of being able to catch a glimpse of it hidden in solitude.  Okno has focused on the body and its enclosure, the fetal position hinting at the figure of the child,  a position in which the human takes refuge when in need of comfort. The different works in this series are sequential, tracing different stages of depression, including healing. Malgaja in this context is the most abysmal phase, hence the lonely, shy figure. The series of which this work is a part passed the selection of the contemporary art competition "Arte Laguna Prize." Of the five works in the series, two final ones ("Var" and "Lumo") were then selected for exhibition at the North Arsenal in Venice. Valeriya Shebelnichenko, aka Okno, was born in Ukraine in 1996. Painter and performer, she currently lives and works in the city of Turin, Italy. She moved to Italy in 2004 and studied at the Art and Music High School in Forlì, obtaining her diploma in 2016. With her emotional approach to painting and performance, she manages to involve the viewers by making them part of her experiences. Okno’s works have been shown in the cities of Venice, Milan, Turin, Pisa, Rimini, Forlí, Edinburgh, she arrived as a finalist in the Arte Laguna Prize and exhibited in the spaces of the Venetian North Arsenale. Her career, albeit young, denotes various collaborations, aimed at creating an artistic dialogue that involves multiple senses.

The Melting of Glaciers - Oil Painting by Sabrina Pugliese - 2019
Located in Roma, IT
The melting of glaciers is an original Contemporary Artwork realized by the Italian artist Sabrina Pugliese (b. 1990). Original oil painting on canvas. Hand-signed on the lower right corner: Sabrina Pugliese. Hand-signed, titled, and dated on the back too. Total dimensions: 70x70 cm. Mint conditions. "This artwork pays attention on the issue of sustainability. In fact, I am an Italian teacher and I often talk in the classroom about these questions specially during civics classes. Originally, I was intent on creating a giant wave because I was born and I lived in a small village near the sea. Subsequently, I changed my idea because my brush painted this scenary by itself. I love the oil on canvas technique also because I can blend the colour for hours as in this case where the waves break up in the fluidity of the sea". Sabrina Pugliese Sabrina Pugliese was born on April 2nd, 1990 in a small village in the Southern Italy, Nova Siri. Since she was a child, she was interested in arts in their different forms: singing, playing piano and visual arts. She graduated in Modern Literature at the University of Urbino, in the heart of the Italian Renaissance, the birthplace of Raffaello Sanzio. She didn’t have the chance to attend artistic high school because it was too far from home. So, after the graduation, she began to devote herself to her passions: painting, exclusively oil on canvas. She has started painting as a self-trained painter to promote and improve her territory, Basilicata, also named Lucania. Nowadays, she expanded her project because she wants to spread Mediterranean holidays’ colours, sounds and perfumes, with the image of the sea, all over the world. She knows that painting can give voice to landscapes of the soul through seascapes. She lived for ten years away from home to study and work and, in this way, she created a stronger relationship with her origins. During the pandemic, she has decided to return to Basilicata to offer her small contribution to the Southern of Italy. She has participated in several national and international exhibitions including: • Collective exhibition with two painters: Giulio Orioli e Nino Oriolo for “Night of the brigands” 2019, in Nova Siri Centre (MT) thank to collaboration of Maria De Lorenzo...
