ЦВЕТЫ В ЗЕРКАЛЕ

by MARINA VENEDIKTOVA · Sankt-Peterburg, RU

In addition to visible beauty, I, as the author of the painting, want to reveal to you the philosophy of the depicted scene. The woman symbolizes the inner world of a person, his soul, and subtle emotional feelings. The stone pyramid she is building represents the life path and the steps that every person takes. Life is so fragile and changeable that at any moment it can destroy everything and force one to rebuild their path. Only inner balance and faith in one's inner strength allow one to reach the intended peaks again and again. The painting is created with oil paints in 3 layers, each shade shining through from underneath another, creating the effect of multilayered volume and radiance. The sides of the painting are painted in a dark color. It is executed on high-quality canvas made of 100% linen, with a canvas density of 400 g/meter, stretched on a quality wooden stretcher. The best Russian oil paints produced in Russia, city of St. Petersburg, were used.
