This painting is one from a series of three small studies in female portraiture, trying to show women at leisure, at their moment of quiet reverie. Not strictly portraits in a traditional sense, the paintings’ fictional models are inspired by the people I meet, who caught my attention through their personal style, body language and elegance. The women are seemingly lost of though and oblivious to being observed - there is an air of untroubled waiting about them that gives them a sense of poise, whether it is playful, tranquil or thoughtful. Like all of my works, the paintings are made on a heavy-duty natural canvas that I stretch and triple-prime myself, to achieve the highest quality of surface. Working exclusively with oil paints I use my own signature technique of colour contrasts to create this glowing and atmospheric effect.
My interest lies in a contemporary interpretation of a classical genre of figurative and still-life painting. I am interested in painting as a way to translate subtle differences between light and shade, indoors and outdoors; to create atmospheric arrangements reminiscent of leisurely summer afternoons and moody contemplative evenings. The paintings, inspired by the aesthetics of Modiliani and Egyptian frescoes, are made on a strong canvas that I stretch and prime in my own technique as well as highest-quality oil paints. I am a classically trained painter, graduated from the prestigious Painting Faculty of the Kiev State Academy of Fine Arts to continue my creative practice in Czech Republic. While keeping up a regular exhibition activity in Czech Republic and internationally, including shows in Germany, Spain, France, Belgium and Switzerland, I find my creative base in my airy studio in Prague, which I share with my partner and my two dogs.
