Acrylic painting Choice Maksym Newskulenko

№New 4

The painting titled "Choice" features a female figure seated on a stool, occupying the central foreground of the canvas. She assumes a relaxed yet assertive posture, with one arm draped over the back of the stool and the other resting on its seat, denoting a casual confidence. She is attired in a beige oversized blazer with bold, abstract black lines that create the illusion of sharp shadows, giving the garment a three-dimensional and structured form. Beneath the blazer, a hint of a black garment can be seen. The blazer's oversized lapels and the subtle red line on the left side contribute to its geometric and angular appearance. Her facial expression is contemplative, with her gaze directed slightly upwards and to the side, as if in deep thought or consideration. Her features are rendered with defined brushstrokes, and her dark hair is styled in a loose, effortless manner that frames her face. A light grey hat sits atop her head, with a thin, darker band that matches her hair. The figure's earlobes are adorned with yellow earrings, providing a small pop of color that contrasts with her otherwise neutral-toned attire. In the background, an array of geometric shapes in various shades of blue, grey, red, and black intersect and overlap, creating a dynamic and somewhat fragmented backdrop that contrasts with the solidity of the figure in the foreground. This complex pattern can be interpreted as a metaphor for the choices and paths one encounters in life. The use of sharp angles and contrasting colors throughout the composition gives the painting a modern and abstract quality, while the detailed portrayal of the woman's demeanor and fashion adds a sense of contemporary realism.

Among the works, mostly female portraits are presented, in which a realistic image of the human body and geometric elements in the style of pop art are skillfully combined. The heroines of the works are calm, majestic, as if goddesses in modern clothes are preoccupied with the affairs of the present and are full of thoughts about the eternal. Each of them has its own story and is imbued with the author's personal love for the female image. The artist conveys the feeling of admiration, respect and exaltation of women as the source of life.
