Acrylic painting Expectation Maksym Newskulenko

№New 7

The painting "Expectation" features a seated female figure as the focal point, set within a vividly colored environment. She is portrayed in a contemplative pose, her cheek resting on her hand, suggesting deep thought or anticipation. The figure is dressed in a dark brown garment, its folds and creases painted with a play of light and shadow that lend a soft texture to the fabric. Her complexion is rendered in natural tones, and her facial features are detailed with a delicate touch, capturing a serene and introspective expression. Her dark hair is neatly parted and falls straight, framing her face and contributing to the overall sense of quiet reflection. In the foreground, a potted plant with slender green stems and vibrant red berries introduces a lively element of nature to the scene. The plant seems to be placed on a table, and behind it, two transparent glass bottles add a touch of realism through their reflective and refractive qualities. The background is divided into abstract planes of color, with geometric shapes in mustard yellow, deep red, and shades of brown creating a structured yet harmonious backdrop. A bold stripe of blue crosses the composition, intersecting with a table edge, further defining the space and giving a sense of depth. "Expectation" seems to play on the contrast between the stillness of the subject and the dynamic arrangement of color and form surrounding her. The juxtaposition of the organic shapes of the plant against the angularity of the background suggests a balance between nature and the constructed world, mirroring the inner balance the subject appears to be seeking.

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.
