Reflections at Dawn, Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
Located in Zofingen, AG
"Reflections at Dawn" is the latest contemplative addition to my "Thoughts" series. This triptych, measuring 100x60 cm, is crafted with acrylic paints on canvas, enhanced with oil pastel techniques, embodying my ongoing exploration into the depths of the feminine soul and its interplay with the universe.
The painting portrays a young woman seated in the forest, symbolizing reflection and introspection. Her nude form speaks to vulnerability and a readiness to open her heart to the world. Engrossed in her thoughts, she may be recalling the past or dreaming of the future, her musings remaining untold.
Adorning her shoulder is a Scythian-era symbol of the universe and the sun, a reminder that we are all part of something larger and an infinite cycle of life. The sunflowers and poppies leaning over her are taken from traditional Ukrainian ornaments, carrying the symbolism of the sun, blood, and rebirth.
This work reflects on how femininity is intertwined with nature and cultural symbols passed down through generations. It represents my search for profound meanings and connection with antiquity while highlighting the significance of the female experience in the contemporary world.
"Reflections at Dawn" is more than a piece of art; it is a personal symbolic journey towards understanding the essence of existence.

Challenging Conversations
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Challenging Conversation" by the talented artist Abdullateef Salaudeen is a compelling exploration of vulnerability, self-discovery, and the complexities of communication. The artwork features a young man in the act of pulling off his shirt, an action that transcends the physical realm and serves as a metaphor for the emotional layers being unveiled.
Salaudeen's keen attention to detail is evident in the nuanced expression on the young man's face. The furrowed brow and intense gaze suggest a struggle, not only with the fabric of his shirt but also with internal conflicts and emotions. The artist masterfully captures the raw, unfiltered moments of personal challenge, inviting viewers to empathize with the subject's journey.
The choice of title, "Challenging Conversation," adds depth to the narrative, suggesting that the act of removing the shirt symbolizes a dialogue within oneself—a confrontation with inner thoughts, doubts, or perhaps an attempt to shed societal expectations. The artist prompts viewers to contemplate the unseen narratives and untold stories that lie beneath the surface.
Salaudeen's use of color and composition further enhances the emotional impact of the artwork. Subtle tones and careful shades of grey create a realistic yet painterly atmosphere, adding a layer of intimacy to the scene. The dynamic composition captures the transient nature of the moment, freezing the young man's struggle in time and inviting viewers to engage with the narrative at their own pace.
"Challenging Conversation" resonates as a poignant exploration of the universal human experience, where moments of self-reflection and personal growth are often accompanied by internal dialogues that require courage and resilience. Abdullateef Salaudeen's work serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty found in vulnerability and the strength that emerges from confronting one's challenges.

Way Forward
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Way Forward," a captivating artwork by Abdullateef Salaudeen, portrays a young woman turning her back to the viewer, her flowing weaved hair creating a mesmerizing visual tapestry. This piece invites viewers to contemplate the symbolic journey of the individual and the profound act of embracing the unknown.
Salaudeen's choice of composition is deliberate, drawing attention to the woman's flowing hair that cascades down her shoulders. The subtle details in the weave capture the essence of intricate paths and choices, symbolizing the complexities of life's journey. The act of turning away becomes a metaphor for stepping into the future with confidence and curiosity.
The title, "Way Forward," reinforces the forward-facing theme, suggesting that the woman is not retreating but rather moving ahead. The artist prompts viewers to reflect on the idea that progress often involves a willingness to venture into new territories, leaving the familiar behind in pursuit of growth and self-discovery.
The flowing weaved hair serves as a visual metaphor for interconnected experiences and the interwoven threads of life. Salaudeen's masterful use of color and texture adds depth to the artwork, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. The overall composition invites viewers to appreciate the beauty in change and the transformative power of embracing the path that lies ahead.
"Way Forward" stands as a celebration of resilience, courage, and the inherent beauty found in the journey of self-discovery. Abdullateef Salaudeen's artwork encourages viewers to embrace the uncertainties that lie ahead, acknowledging that the way forward is often paved with both challenges and moments of profound beauty.

"Young Woman Seated" Green & Pink Contemporary Figurative Nude by Shana Wilson
By Shana Wilson
Located in Carmel, CA
In "Nude Woman Seated," a 40" x 30" oil on wood panel by Shana Wilson, there is an intimate portrayal of vulnerability and quiet strength. The artist employs a soft, earth-toned palette, with shades of warm beige, muted greens, and accents of coral, to craft the figure’s delicate form. Wilson's loose, confident brushstrokes lend a raw, textured quality, while the interplay of light and shadow captures the natural curves of the human body. The solitary figure, caught in a moment of repose, exudes a contemplative air, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of the human form and the subtle narratives contained within stillness.
About the Artist:
Over seven billion souls exist on this planet, each with a unique face and story. Shana transfers her visceral love for the human landscape to canvas, tenderly cradling its peaks and valleys, darkness and light, colors and neutrals, empty and full, hard edges and soft curves. Each brush stroke creates a controlled cacophony as it assembles the intricate jigsaw of the human face. An entire life’s journey is written on this human landscape; a journey that begs to be documented and treasured. Shana’s legacy project is to paint inspirational women from all walks of life, inclusive of all cultures and orientations. The subjects all have one thing in common; the ability to inspire and create social change. She pays tribute to them on canvas, painting a long overdue celebration of trail-blazing women.

"Moonlight", Figurative neon painting by Olha Vlasova
Located in Zofingen, AG
ITEM DETAILS
The edges are painted
Some parts of the picture glow under blue light
The painting was part of an exhibition 'Ancestral call' in Switzerland
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
On this canvas is the portrait of a woman deeply immersed in her
inner emotions. Her thoughts not only accompany her but also shape
the world around her, infusing it with explosive passion and glow. This
woman doesn't just exist in her space - she creates it, reflecting her
deepest emotions and thoughts.
The inspiration for this artwork comes from an intimate moment of
experiencing feelings of love and uncertainty. It's a time of sweet
longing for a loved one when the heart is filled with anticipation of
meeting and dreams of a future together.
The artist behind this painting invites the viewer not only to observe
what's on the canvas but also to experience these emotions with the
protagonist. It's an invitation to rediscover those warm feelings of
budding love, to feel love and empathy, and to embrace the possibility
of being sensitive and open to the world.

Large Modern British, mid century oil painting of nude with bracelets
Located in Petworth, West Sussex
This magnificent oil painting by Modern British artist Roy Spencer draws inspiration from avant-garde French artists such as Matisse and Raoul Dufy. This artwork strikingly exemplifies the strong connection between their styles. The piece is characterised by its vibrant colour palette, dynamic and decisive lines, and the unwavering, steady gaze of the subject. It exudes a profound sense of gravitas reminiscent of the works of the classic French masters from the early 20th century.
The details of the work are:

During the war Spencer served with the Royal Engineers in Egypt and Italy, and it was during this time that he met John Stanton Ward, who became a life long friend. Often drawing together, Ward’s enthusiasm was inspirational and galvanising, and on demobilisation Spencer enrolled at Chelsea School of Art, whilst simultaneously teaching at Wimbledon. Upon finishing at Chelsea as a student he became a tutor there, working with Robert Medley, Raymond Coxon, Susan Einzig, Julian Trevelyan and Elisabeth Frink. He also became a visitor at Camberwell.

The Belgrave Gallery catalogue 1986 suggests the sitter is in fact his wife, Laura Knight the noted artist. The sensuous understanding of the flesh tones and anatomy reveals the qualities that established Knight's reputation as a leading portrait painter after the War. This picture may be dated to c.1916. A really lovely portrait by a much sought after artist. Signed lower left.
Provenance. Fifty Years Ago Exhibition, RWS Galleries, June 1965, no. 200.
Miles Lamdin Gallery, London.
Belgrave Gallery February 1986 which suggests in their catalogue the sitter is Laura Knight.

Help is Coming
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
This striking artwork captures the essence of a shirtless young man in a moment of profound contemplation. His gaze, both pained and optimistic, fixated upon an unseen horizon, offers a captivating entry point into the complex emotional narrative that underlies the piece.
Salaudeen's use of color is masterful, drawing viewers' eyes immediately to the central figure. The young man's skin is rendered in a palette of subtle, earthy tones, emphasizing his vulnerability and humanity. The absence of a shirt lays bare his raw emotions and exposes the vulnerability we all share when facing adversity.
However, it is the juxtaposition of the man's countenance that truly captivates the viewer. The artist has masterfully crafted an expression that is simultaneously heavy with the weight of the world and imbued with an undeniable glimmer of hope. The furrowed brow and furrowed lips are etched with the lines of a thousand struggles, yet his eyes betray a flicker of optimism. This duality is what makes "Help is Coming" so compelling; it encapsulates the human experience of confronting adversity, where pain and hope often intermingle in the most profound ways.
The title, "Help is Coming," adds depth to the narrative woven into the piece. It suggests that, despite the pain etched onto the young man's face, there is a belief in a brighter future, a conviction that support and relief are on the horizon. This message resonates with viewers on a universal level, serving as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is the potential for change and improvement.
Salaudeen's technique also deserves special mention. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in the fine lines and textures that make the young man's skin seem almost tangible. The background, although abstract and dreamlike, subtly hints at the broader context of the man's struggles, inviting viewers to interpret the piece through their own experiences and perspectives.
"Help is Coming" is more than just a static image; it is a visual poem that speaks to the shared human experience of pain, resilience, and hope. It encourages us to reflect on our own journeys, reminding us that, no matter how daunting the challenges we face, there is always the potential for relief and redemption.
In a world often filled with chaos and uncertainty, art has the power to provide solace and inspiration. Abdulateef Salaudeen...
