Oil painting Jewelry of joy Oleksandr Gukalov

№AAA3260

The painting "Jewelry of Joy" is an abstract oil on canvas piece that uses geometric shapes and vibrant colors to evoke a sense of happiness and celebration. The artist employs a warm and harmonious color palette, with dominant shades of yellow, brown, white, blue, and green. Accents of red add a lively contrast to the composition. The technique features bold, thick brushstrokes and clearly defined areas of color, separated by black lines. This method gives the painting a strong graphic quality, reminiscent of modernist abstract art. The composition is structured around a series of geometric shapes that resemble stylized trees or branches, each adorned with small red ornaments that resemble berries or pieces of jewelry. The painting is divided into four main sections, each with its own color scheme and pattern, yet all connected through the central theme. The background and the spaces between the tree-like structures are filled with bold stripes and blocks of color, including shades of yellow, blue, and brown. These patterns add depth and complexity to the painting, creating a dynamic and engaging visual experience. The overall mood of the painting is joyful and celebratory. The bright colors and playful patterns evoke feelings of happiness and festivity. The red ornaments, resembling berries or pieces of jewelry, symbolize joy and decoration, enhancing the painting’s theme of celebration. "Jewelry of Joy" can be interpreted as an abstract representation of nature’s beauty and the small joys that decorate our lives. The tree-like structures symbolize growth and life, while the red ornaments represent moments of happiness and celebration. The painting invites viewers to find joy in the simple and colorful elements of the world around them. This painting beautifully combines abstract forms and vibrant colors to create a lively and uplifting work of art, celebrating the joy and beauty of life through its dynamic composition and cheerful motifs.

About the artists: Oleksiyander Gukalov
After graduating from Lviv Polytechnic, he was engaged in scientific work. In his free time, he studied the works of Plato, the poetry of the ancient East, and religious works. At this time, resistance to the routine of life and utilitarian science arose in him; he became interested in man and his secrets. Oleksiyander decided to end his engineering career and become a humanitarian. Since 1990, he began to write and publish philosophical poems. Later he decided to devote himself to painting, a passion for which began during his years of study at the Lviv Polytechnic with caricatures and caricatures of classmates and teachers.

Since 2017 he has been painting with oil paints. Oleksiyander does not have a formal art education, but he is convinced that the craft and talent of an artist do not directly depend on professional education. The artist's works are characterized by completeness of composition and depth of meaning. He is not afraid to work with different themes, his paintings are true modern art that touches people. The artist’s portfolio includes landscapes and views of his favorite cities, portraits of pop stars, politicians, athletes, relatives, and animals. “I draw a toga when I feel the need for it. Therefore, I cannot say that I work in some narrow direction. Rather, it is a call from the soul,” the artist says about himself.
