Acrylic painting Identification Maksym Newskulenko

№New 17

The acrylic painting titled "Identification" is a vibrant and expressive portrait of a woman, rich in cultural symbolism and color. She is depicted in profile, looking to the right, which gives the viewer a clear view of her striking features and attire. Adorning her head is a colorful headwrap, intricately tied and patterned with bold, geometric shapes in a spectrum of reds, blues, yellows, and greens. The headwrap is a traditional element, often signifying cultural identity and pride. Her ear is adorned with a large, ornate earring featuring gold tones and a central red gem, complementing the colors in her headwrap and adding to the regality of her bearing. Gold paint is used to highlight the jewelry's intricate detailing, catching the light and drawing the eye. The woman's skin is painted with warm, natural tones, and traditional facial markings are depicted on her cheek, suggesting cultural practices of beauty and identity. These markings are rendered with precision, adding to the authenticity of the portrait. She wears a garment with a vivid red and blue pattern, detailed with gold accents that create a sense of texture and depth. The garment's colors echo those in the headwrap, suggesting a coordinated and culturally significant ensemble. Behind her, an abstract pattern of blue and white forms a halo-like shape, framing her profile and giving the portrait a sense of sanctity or importance. The background is a calm green that contrasts with the vivid colors of her attire, ensuring that the subject remains the focal point of the piece. The title "Identification" may allude to the woman's strong sense of cultural identity, as expressed through her traditional attire and markings. The painting is a celebration of heritage and personal identity, capturing the essence of the subject's pride in her cultural roots.

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.
