Acrylic painting Sight Maksym Newskulenko

№New 2

The acrylic painting, presumably titled "Sight," is a modern, figurative work that captures the essence of a contemplative moment. The subject is a woman, seated and partially turned away from the viewer, giving a sense of depth and dimension to her posture. Her gaze is directed off-canvas, which, along with the painting's title, may suggest that she is looking at something beyond what we can see, or perhaps lost in thought. She is dressed in a structured, oversized blazer with prominent lapels, suggesting a contemporary, perhaps urban setting or a professional context. The blazer is painted in shades of grey, creating a contrast with her dark hair and the dark green top she wears underneath. Her skin is rendered in a realistic manner, with subtle variations in tone that give life to her contemplative expression. The woman's facial features are defined by deliberate brushstrokes, and her eyes are particularly expressive, drawing the viewer into her introspective gaze. Her earrings, two simple but bold yellow hoops, stand out against the muted colors of her attire, providing a pop of color that draws attention to her face. The background is composed of abstract geometric shapes and planes in a reduced color palette of greys, purples, and a touch of yellow, echoing the linear elements of her clothing. This abstract element contrasts with the realism of the figure, creating a dynamic tension in the composition. The use of sharp lines and angles in the background could be interpreted as a visual representation of the urban environment or the internal landscape of the subject's thoughts. "Sight" could be seen as an exploration of the human condition in a modern context, focusing on the inner life of the subject as she interacts with the space around her. The painting invites viewers to ponder what the woman may be seeing or thinking about, creating a narrative that extends beyond the visual frame.

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.
