Acrylic painting Under the blanket in thought Maksym Newskulenko

№New 11

The acrylic painting "Under the blanket in thought" depicts a person in a moment of intimate contemplation. The subject is seated with their torso leaning forward and arms wrapped around their legs, which are partially enveloped by a blanket of rich pink tones. This pose conveys a sense of introspection and vulnerability. The individual has short-cropped hair and a gaze that is directed slightly upwards, connecting with the viewer with an expression that is both introspective and inviting of empathy. The facial features are rendered with a notable attention to the play of light and shadow, highlighting the contemplative mood of the subject. Tattoos with vivid colors and designs adorn the visible skin of the arms and shoulders, suggesting a personal narrative and adding a vibrant contrast to the otherwise muted tones of the figure's skin and the background. Each tattoo seems to hold a story, contributing to the depth of the character's portrayal. The background is made up of geometric shapes in varying shades of purple, black, and blue, intersecting in a way that suggests an indoor space with different planes and surfaces. This abstract environment frames the subject, emphasizing their form and the emotional state conveyed through their posture and expression. The blanket's pink hues stand out against the cooler background, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure and reinforcing the warmth of the human subject in the midst of the surrounding abstract shapes. The overall composition of the painting, with its interplay of color, form, and emotional resonance, captures a moment of stillness and depth, as if the subject is lost in thought or processing complex emotions.

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.
