Acrylic painting Price Maksym Newskulenko

№New 13

The acrylic painting titled "Price" is a compelling portrait of a woman, her gaze directed outward, holding a golden branch. The subject is framed against a stark, geometric background, divided into blocks of bold color—yellow, red, blue, and black—creating a strong visual contrast. The woman is clad in a red hooded garment that drapes over her shoulders and chest, with folds and shadows painted in a way that gives the fabric a heavy and textured appearance. The hood frames her face, drawing attention to her striking features: her eyes are thoughtful, her nose well-defined, and her lips are rendered with a subtle natural hue, which together convey a sense of contemplation or resolve. In her hands, she holds a delicately painted golden branch, with fine lines and angles that suggest fragility. The branch stands out against the deep reds of her clothing and the cooler colors of the background, symbolizing something precious or perhaps a burden she carries. Her skin is painted with realistic tones, and the light is skillfully captured on her cheek and nose, giving her face dimension and a soft luminosity. The shadow cast by the hood over her eyes adds depth to her expression. The background's abstract elements and the realistic portrayal of the woman create a juxtaposition that emphasizes the emotional weight of the portrait. The title "Price" may imply a narrative or symbolic significance to the golden branch, inviting viewers to ponder the possible meanings behind this enigmatic and powerful image.

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.
